A small dryer purchase turned into a big project!

Last year, a Comairco sales representative visited a plant who operates an internal laboratory used to test the products they manufacture.

The plant visited is one of many factories of this major worldwide roofing enterprise with more than 3,500 employees and more than 25 manufacturing plants in Canada, the United States, and across several European countries.  The company ships roofing products to 96 countries around the globe.

Once on site our sales representative noted that the piping needed to be revised to be more optimal for the new compressed air dryer.  By taking a closer look at the air network, it was also suggested to the customer to have a back-up compressor.  Should the primary compressor be shut down for maintenance or in the unlikely event of a failure, the second compressor would take over and the customer’s daily operations would not be disrupted.  The customer also agreed of the fact that a second compressor was necessary.

Later, it was a question of transporting gases necessary for the operations of his laboratory, he had to transport oxygen and nitrogen between the cylinders and his laboratory.  He inquired if Comairco could help him with this gas management.  Comairco was therefore responsible for designing the pipe systems and an external team was responsible for installing them.  Comairco could also have provided a nitrogen generator integrated into the compressed air compressor, but their current use of nitrogen is too limited to justify such a purchase.

Quickly, an expansion project of the laboratory was required, once again without hesitation the customer contacted Comairco so that we could design the installation of the piping necessary for all the management of gases and compressed air.  An operation that was very well mastered by our team.
