Instrument air is often finalised too late. After the main equipment decisions are already fixed.
Yet air quality at a control valve or instrument is decided much earlier:
• Compressor configuration affects reliability.
• Dryer selection and dew point must account for tropical humidity.
• Buffer volume should support a trip-and-restart, not only steady demand.
• Distribution losses and pressure recovery matter at the point of use.
A dry, stable supply begins with the design basis, not the installation stage.
