Compressed air solutions for water treatment plants are becoming more sophisticated, with higher environmental considerations and enhanced customisation needs. Pilot Air has delivered solutions to large-scale water treatment authorities that solve the problems of compressed air with customised assets built for reliability, power and environmental safeguards.
Australia’s geography exposes us to extreme meteorological conditions. These events have never been more visible than in the past few years, with severe bushfires and intense flooding that lasted months.
Our population density and growing urban sprawl compound the impact of adverse weather conditions, placing intense pressure on infrastructure, particularly the supply of clean water to residential and business districts across the country.
Water treatment plants are a critical piece of infrastructure and ensuring they function 24 hours a day 7 days a week requires all the moving parts to meet stringent standards for quality and reliability.

Compressed air plays a pivotal role
Consistent and reliable air pressure plays a pivotal role in successful and dependable operations. Powerful, reliable and system-integrated air compressors designed and manufactured to the highest level of operational integrity are essential pieces of water treatment infrastructure, and many water authorities turn to Pilot Air.
We work closely with several state water boards to custom design and manufacture fit-for-purpose compressed air solutions.
Pilot Air’s Chief Executive, Mr. Martin Wyllie, says:
“At Pilot Air, we work closely with the relevant engineers to ensure we fully understand both the technical requirements of the project and also the environmental constraints of the site. The ability to custom build a solution from the ground up means we can fulfil the unique requirements of the water treatment industry that often cannot be met with standard ‘out of the box’ products.”

A multidisciplinary approach
Our team uses advanced software diagnostics to extract critical data for performance levels, user demands and power and energy challenges.
Working side by side, the design and manufacturing teams ensure material selection for the housings meets demand specifications, internal componentry and instrumentation are customised accurately and safety and environmental oversight has the required governance.
We manufacture in Australia, with quality control management at every touchpoint.
Our technical team tests, installs and commissions each solution, with ongoing maintenance and service scheduling built in.
