Traditionally, oil and gas operators used methane driven devices because of the abundance of natural gas available for their valves and the operation of safety devices. However, when those instrumentation actuates they release methane emissions into the atmosphere. With more growing concern on green energy and emission reduction more and…
Definition A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from an air system. That is, an air dryer’s main function is not removing liquid water, which is the role of a compressed air moisture separator and coalescing filter. Compressed Air Dryer vs. Moisture Separators Many owners of…
