Production Enterprises' Concerns: Traditional Piping Systems Are Holding Back Progress

During a conversation with on-site management engineers at a large automobile manufacturing plant in Guangdong, we learned that when the project initially commenced, the air compressor load across the entire factory was around 70%. Five years on, despite virtually no changes to the production equipment within the workshops and almost no additional air consumption points, the air compressors are now operating at full capacity. Moreover, the gauge pressure at air consumption points has dropped from the initial 7 bar to 6 bar.

After joint discussions and analyses with the customer, we identified that the root cause lies in the customer's adoption of a carbon steel piping system for air compression delivery. Conventional post-treatment equipment is unable to completely remove moisture, leading to severe pipe corrosion. The corrosive debris not only clogs the filtration components of the three-piece fittings, causing pressure losses, but in some areas, it has even corroded through the pipes, resulting in significant leaks.

Such scenarios are not uncommon among many of our customers. Energy losses due to the use of corrosion-prone piping materials in delivery systems can exceed 30%!
