There are many contaminants that can threaten your compressed air system, but moisture is a common one. You might be thinking, but it’s just water, but water can have a devastating effect on your compressed air system, your production equipment, and your final product. The ideal way to prevent moisture from contaminating your compressed air is to use a compressed air dryers.

Moisture in compressed air is unavoidable because ambient air always contains moisture. When air is compressed, it's forced into a tighter space. Therefore, the contaminants it contains, including moisture, can be found in higher volumes.

So why is moisture a problem for air compressors?

1. Corrosion

It all starts with your compressed air system itself, if your air is untreated (or not treated properly), moisture can cause your equipment to corrode. This reduces the reliability and durability of compressed air equipment and reduces maintenance intervals. Corrosion is a problem that amplifies downstream, for example, rust particles from corroded pipes get into your compressed air and can damage the equipment that uses that air. It can also seep all the way into your final product, affecting product quality.

2. Microorganisms

Moisture creates ideal conditions for the growth of microorganisms such as fungi, mold, and bacteria. These organisms thrive in the hot and humid environment in compressed air systems. These microorganisms are not only a danger to your compressed air system itself, but an even greater threat to your final product. This is especially true when your final product is consumed by the customer, such as food, drink or pharmaceuticals.
