Customers in many industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical production, and critical electronics require the highest levels of purity in their products. Any contamination with oil, which can often be found when compressed air is used, can result in serious health hazards or malfunctions.

But how can we provide 100% oil-free air, without letting the compressors overheat?

The solution is Atlas Copco’s AQ 15-30 VSD water-injected screw compressors, which is available in water-cooled and air-cooled versions. Because there is no oil whatsoever used inside the compressor, there is no waste oil to remove or dispose of, which means the environment will be protected from oil contamination from these manufacturing processes.

Not only does this compressor safeguard the purity of the compressed it, it also has an integrated variable speed drive claimed to deliver energy savings of up to 35% compared to traditional compressor technologies.

The environmental footprint of food manufacturing, pharmaceutical and electronics industry can be quite large. The AQ 15-30 is a small compressor that can have a big impact on the customers’ business and the environment.

In Egypt, There is a crucial need and high demand of pure air especially for the Pharmaceutical manufacturing where the quality of air is paramount for their end products and production process. According to World Bank reports, Egypt is among the most energy intensive economies in the Middle East North Africa region as well as in the world. On the sector level, most industrial processes, equipment and consumer appliances in Egypt have 20 percent or higher energy consumption than the best international practices. This means that Atlas Copco’s AQ oil-free compressors have an enormous potential to improve the industry standards and reduce the environmental footprint of the region.

“We are focusing on providing our customers the highest purity of air, the maximum energy efficiency with unbeatable monitoring and service level, “said Emad Fawzy, Regional Business Line Manager for Industrial Air Division
