Submicronic contaminants in compressed air systems plug orifices of sensitive pneumatic instrumentation, wear out seals, erode system components, reduce the absorptive capacity of desiccant air/gas dehydrators, foul heat transfer surfaces, reduce air tool efficiency, and damage finished products. The results include product rejects, lost production time and increased maintenance expense.

For example, trace amounts of submicronic oil can cause serious fish eye blemishing in automotive finishing operations. Water left in air lines can freeze during exposure to cold temperatures, blocking flow or rupturing pipes. Compressor lubricant not captured in a coalescing filter will eventually collect in pneumatic components, causing premature component repair or replacement. Environmental concerns will be raised if oily, compressed air is continually discharged into the atmosphere through a pneumatic muffler.
