How to Safely Dry Compressed Air in Hazardous Atmospheres.
Hazardous locations such as refineries, chemical processing plants, mines and grain mills have or could potentially have high concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts or ignitable fibers. Even a small spark can lead to an explosion that could injure workers and damage equipment in the area.

These areas often have pneumatically operated equipment for safety. And that equipment needs a source of clean dry air - instrument grade air - to operate. This air is often contaminated with water.

In this white paper, you'll learn about:

  • National Electric Code (NEC) hazardous location classifications.
  • Hazardous condition types.
  • Hazardous substance groups.
  • Equipment design for hazardous areas.
  • Best practices for drying compressed air in hazardous locations.
