       Compressed air drying


       solution is on the right track




       Norgren’s innovative AMT compressed air drying solution is reducing relative
       humidity levels down to less than 10% for a major Australian metro operator,
       helping keep its train network on the move and provide a reliable and safe
       transportation service for its 240 million passengers each year

              ompressed air is vital when it comes to   Operators have to contend with the challenge of
              ensuring that essential applications on   keeping the compressed air free of contamination,
              railway networks keep moving. Braking   as moisture, foreign particulate and contaminated
       Csystems, pneumatically operated doors,   compressor oil affect the production of clean and
