The Potential Dangers of Air Receivers
Are the potential dangers of air receivers just a bit of hot air? When comparing electricity or gas compressed air and air receiver systems, you’d be forgiven for thinking that compressed air presents very little danger. However, the reality is that compressed air brings its own set of serious issues to deal with. Air receiver tanks, in particular, present [...]
CASE STUDY 12 | UWA Nitrogen Testing Equipment Install
NPS recently installed Nitrogen testing equipment at the UWA School of Agriculture and Environment – Soil Science Department. The nitrogen line services bespoke pressure chambers in the university laboratory which ultimately measures soil water retention for applications in land capabilities and soil health. Application for soil water retention curves is most often used in land [...]
Why Your System Needs A Compressed Air Dryer
A Compressed Air Dryer is used for removing water vapour from compressed air. Humidity is a component of atmospheric air, which can be found in the form of condensate and/or vapour in compressed air distribution systems and the machines that use the compressed air. If the condensate can be easily separated and discharged, humidity, in [...]

10 Things to target during an air audit to ensure compressed energy savings
Compress Energy Costs through Air Audit With the rapidly escalating cost of electricity, there is an increasing focus within industry on the energy consumption of air compressor systems. As an un-maintained system can be wasting as much as 50% of a compressor’s output, it is important to ensure that your system is operating at its [...]
CASE STUDY 8 | NPS Slices Energy Costs at D’Orsogna
Local legends D’Orsogna, synonymous with high-quality flavoursome meat products came to Nessco Pressure Systems with concerns over air quality, pressure loss and electricity bills. Like most leading food and beverage wholesalers and manufacturers, their factory relies heavily on compressed air. NPS undertook an Air Audit, mapping D’Orsogna’s airline and recording the current four compressors’ operating [...]
Compress Your Energy Costs through IVR Variable Speed Compressors
The simple economic model of matching supply with demand optimises productivity and helps control costs. This makes sense not only in the economic world, but also when considering how compressed air is produced and used in a manufacturing facility. Poorly designed and maintained systems waste energy Nessco Pressure Systems knows that compressed air is critical [...]
