Compressed Air Quality Auditing

Ensure Your ISO 8573 Compliance with a Mobile System

Compressed air quality is a critical factor in many manufacturing and industrial processes—especially when it comes to meeting the stringent requirements of ISO 8573.

Invest in a compressed air quality audit

At Artic Driers, we recognise how contaminants such as oil vapor, water, and particles can compromise product quality, safety, and efficiency. That’s why we offer comprehensive, mobile compressed air quality auditing services that provide instant compliance certificates on-site. Whether you’re in the pharmaceutical, food, or general manufacturing sector, our advanced technology ensures peace of mind, helps you maintain international standards, and safeguards your bottom line.

Why Choose Compressed Air Quality Auditing?

Key Advantages of a Compressed Air Audit

Instant ISO 8573 Certification
Our system automates certification for oil vapor carryover, particle counts, and compressed air dew point. You’ll get a fail or pass certificate aligned with ISO standards—no human influence involved.
Enhanced Process and Product Safety
Contaminated air can result in safety concerns and unreliable finishes. By following ISO 8573-1 requirements, you protect your operations from unexpected contaminants that could lead to product recalls or shutdowns.
Reduced Production Failures
When contaminants mix with your materials or processes, product quality suffers. Regular audits help you catch these problems early, avoiding rework, scrap, or poor-quality finishes.
Prevent Downtime
Addressing hidden issues—like leaks, pressure drops, or unexpected contamination—keeps your processes running smoothly. In turn, you minimise costly downtime while maximising output.

Understanding the Process of a Compressed Air Audit

A thorough compressed air audit, sometimes referred to as an airscan audit, follows a systematic approach to evaluate the entire compressed air system. First, our experts conduct a detailed assessment of your compressor room, including all piping and control systems. Next, we collect real-time data on pressure, flow rate, dew point, oil vapor, and particle levels using high-precision instruments.

Following recognised guidelines—such as the Compressed Air Challenge and ISO 8573—we analyse this data to pinpoint inefficiencies, reveal contamination sources, and identify potential cost savings. Finally, we deliver a comprehensive, actionable report that lays out clear steps for improvement. This methodical approach ensures you walk away with instant certification and a roadmap for optimising your entire compressed air system.

How does the S531 Leak Detector work and detect leaks?
The S531 uses ultrasonic technology to identify pressure and airflow changes within a system. Once it detects deviations, it alerts you to the precise location for quick maintenance.

How will this actually save me money on energy costs?
By pinpointing leaks and addressing them rapidly, the S531 helps eliminate unnecessary energy consumption, leading to measurable cost reductions on your utility bills.

Is the S531 difficult to operate?
Not at all! Its intuitive 3.5-inch touch screen and user-friendly interface make leak detection straightforward and efficient.

How do I manage all detected leaks efficiently?
Use the SUTO Leak Management Software (LMS) within the ITEC framework. You can record leak details, schedule repairs, and maintain a comprehensive leak history.

Will the battery last long enough for full-day inspections?
Yes. The robust battery offers up to 8 hours of continuous operation—perfect for a day’s worth of inspection work.
