Many compressed air processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities operate continuously around the clock. As such, it’s critical that any potential risks are managed appropriately. Dr David Bruchof, product manager for oil-free Industrial Compressors at CompAir, discusses a best practice approach to using compressed air systems in these environments, outlining the potential issues that can arise from contaminated compressed air, and the benefits that oil-free technology can help deliver.
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most highly regulated in the world. But while these regulations cover even the smallest technical aspects of pharmaceutical production, they pay comparatively little attention to the use of compressed air in manufacturing facilities.
