Aggreko has announced the launch of a new oil-free air compressor line. According to the company, its 100 per cent oil-free air compressors and air dryers are aimed at industries as diverse as petrochemicals, food and beverage, health care and pharmaceuticals.
Aggreko noted that having a large fleet of modular oil-free air compressors, dryers, and coolers at depots across the Middle East means it can “quickly” deliver tailor-made rental air solutions, with the solutions designed and built for the region to provide energy efficiencies.
According to the company, the Stage 3 engine provides a “significant increase” in run time, reliability and fuel efficiency with extended service intervals, equating to reduced fuel consumption, lower maintenance costs and less downtime.
Adam Read, Head of Sales – Middle East, Aggreko, said: “Aggreko have made large investments in our new fleet of oil-free air compressors to allow us to support increased customer demand in the Middle East for clean, reliable, oil-free air typically demanded in the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and Refining, Manufacturing & Food industries. The units are now available in stock and come equipped with low-emission Stage 3 diesel engines to further support our ‘Energising Change’ strategy and to allow us to assist our customers in reducing emissions in their operations.”
Adding: “A range of dryers are available to further treat the air, and our equipment is never used in combination with non-oil-free compressors or dryers, coolers, or components such as hoses or regulators which could have been exposed to oil-laden air.”
Read noted that all of the company’s air compressors are equipped with Aggreko Remote Monitoring sensor units, which can be linked to its Remote Operations Centre.
At the Centre, its team of engineers and technicians monitor the equipment 24/7 to avoid preventable failures, minimise downtime, accelerate troubleshooting, and enable equipment right-sizing, Read explained.
