Are you preparing your business for the winter season?
At this time of year we notice our clients getting ready for the cold season and as a result, the demand for our hazardous area air warmers increases. Our customers most commonly use these heaters to protect enclosures, cabinets, rooms or stores. (Read More)
First Aid – A matter of life or death
Every year in the UK, thousands of people die in situations where basic first aid could have saved their lives.
A survey carried out in 2012 by St John’s Ambulance revealed that only 18 per cent of people know basic first aid, yet all businesses are required by law to provide the appropriate first-aid arrangements, including the provision of trained first aiders. In order to help promote workplace safety and guide businesses towards providing the right kit and training, (Read More)
METPOINT® OCV makes the quality of compressed air visible METPOINT OCV offers precision measurement technology for all industrial sectors, where compressed air plays an important part in the production process and realtime monitoring of compressed air quality is process critical.
Even "oil-free" components are no guarantor for "oil-free" compressed air, ambient air/ intake air have a big impact on achieving oil free air. In most cases, a certain residual oil content cannot be entirely avoided in standard applications.
Measurement technology makes the purity of compressed air visible and points out the optimisation potentials in the system. The measurement instrumentation from BEKO TECH-NOLOGIES provides a reliable data base for the assessment and assurance of the compressed-air quality and for the identification of hidden cost drivers.
The METPOINT sensor technology continuously records all the relevant parameters at the critical control points of compressed air – reliably and precisely. The proper means in order to implement energy management, for example in accordance with ISO 50001, or to meet the demanding HACCP or GMP requirements.
A cost effective solution to achieve oil-free compressed air
A constant supply of oil-free compressed air with a barely detectable max. residual oil content of 0.001 milligram per cubic metre – this is what the new catalyst system from compressed air specialist BEKO TECHNOLOGIES Ltd is able to deliver.
With this high level of efficiency, the BEKOKAT devices can even sail past the stringent oil content stipulations of ISO 8573-1, class 1. At the same time, the new functional principle breaks down technical and economic barriers that are usually imposed on conventional compressed air treatment, especially when it involves applications with extremely high requirements.
There are three main standards currently in use which directly relate to the purity of the compressed air quality and testing requirements for industry.
These are:
ISO8573 Series / ISO12500 Series / ISO7183
The most commonly used standard is the ISO8573 Series and in particular ISO8573-1:2010.
The compressed air quality standard ISO8573 –
Consists of nine separate parts;
