Program description:
Compressed air is used as a primary flush media for 65% of all drilled Waterwells. Compressors are 3 to 4 times the cost they were in 1990 and more complicated to operate and maintain. Selection of lubricants, maintenance intervals and troubleshooting is almost a fulltime job for companies. We can help give you the best operating and selection plan going forward to save your company time and money.
