What to Do After Your Compressed Air System has Been Hit by a Flood?

2022041210214397529_360.jpgRainstorm or other natural disasters may affect the compressed air system. If your equipment is flooded and your compressor is damaged due to bad weather， it is important for us to follow the process before opening the compressor damaged by flooding.


If your compressor is damaged by flooding， we will make a checklist. Please continue to read the following content. If you have any questions， please call for help.

What to do if the compressed air system is damaged by water flooding:

Electrical safety - if the power supply or compressor installation has been completely or partially submerged， ask an industrial electrician to conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that it is safe to re energize! Re energizing the equipment before it is safe may cause serious damage to property or personnel!

Mechanical safety - take the time to properly inspect the equipment to see if there is water damage to the following items， as they may be damaged and lead to potential or more serious faults:

1. Compressor element

2. Drive motor and fan motor

3. Cooler

4. Piping and connections

5. Air receiver mounting feet and foundation bolts

6. Cleanliness - a clean compressor is a cooled compressor， and checking whether the equipment is clean and free of debris or mud dirt is an easy problem to solve.

We recommend professional technicians to clean the compressor equipment， because if it is not operated properly， the equipment and personnel are at risk. As dry water may contain harmful bacteria or pollutants， we should also pay attention to the use of appropriate personal protective equipment， such as safety glasses， gloves and respiratory protective devices.

7. Before restarting the compressor equipment， open the drainage point to drain the water that may enter the equipment. Once the compressor is restarted， protect your ears when closing the drain pipe， because the sound of compressed air discharge will be very loud.

8. Operation - restart the equipment slowly and methodically and observe for any signs of abnormal operation. Slowly restore the system to full pressure and ensure that all drainage points are closed after cleaning.

Application of on-site oxygen generator (oxygen generator) in gold mining and processing industry

Image
  In order to improve operational efficiency， the mining industry has been in the process of innovation and improvement. The   oxygen generator   used in gold mining plays an important role in improving safety standards， improving gold yield and simplifying beneficiation procedures. What is the role of oxygen content in gold leaching or gold injection? Gold extraction is an extremely complex process， involving multiple steps. First， gold bearing ores (gold bearing rock materials) are recovered from the ground during mining. Large rocks must be broken down into smaller， more manageable pieces. The ore extracted from the mine is crushed into small pieces similar to the consistency， shape and size of gravel. The crushed ore is further processed in a large rotating metal barrel equipped with heavy steel balls. When the ore rotates in the drum， the steel ball grinds the ore into slurry or fine powder. Add water to thicken the slurry or powder to form a paste， and then pass thr...

How to adjust the flow of nitrogen generator equipment

Image
  If the purity of  nitrogen generator  equipment falls below the standard， how to solve it: 1、 How can excess flow improve nitrogen production and purity of  nitrogen generator  equipment The purity and flow originally customized by the  nitrogen generator  equipment will decrease if the flow is increased， and the purity will increase if the flow is low. It is recommended that the flow should not be adjusted by itself. It needs the advice of professional technicians. 2、 Special carbon molecular sieve expired If the  nitrogen generator  equipment is used for a long time， the quality of the special carbon molecular sieve will deteriorate， and the purity of the produced nitrogen will be reduced. The special carbon molecular sieve needs to be replaced， and the purity can be restored. Precautions for maintenance and recuperation after a certain service life of  nitrogen generator  equipment many customers reported that after a certain s...
