The ultra clean conditions of a cleanroom do not mean that the same conditions exist at the intake of the compressor providing the breathing air, for example. And you cannot seek savings anywhere that worker safety is involved. The breathing systems being utilized in industrial processes are too important\u2014but that doesn\u2019t mean they cannot be used and maintained better, for operational performance, worker safety, and facility economics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/airtesting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/AirChallenge.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-124\" title=\"AirChallenge\" src=\"https:\/\/airtesting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/AirChallenge.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"105\" \/><\/a>Marshall is a member of <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compressedairchallenge.org\/about\/committees\/marketing\/default.aspx\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Compressed Air Challenge<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a voluntary collaboration of manufacturers, distributors and their associations; industrial users; facility operating personnel and their associations; consultants; state research and development agencies; energy efficiency organizations; and utilities.
