Air System Training Classes
When your operators, maintenance workers, and engineers understand how compressed air actually works — where moisture comes from, how each dryer type handles it, and how to specify the right dryer for the application — moisture problems get caught early and dryer selection stops being guesswork. TriNova's Air Dryer Course (D-101) equips your team with the hands-on knowledge to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and specify the compressed air system your process depends on.
How TriNova delivers Air System Training
The Air Dryer Course (D-101) is a one-day, hands-on class delivered by TriNova's technical education specialists. Students work through the fundamentals of compressed air and drying — desiccant air dryers, filtration and drains, heatless dryers, internally heated dryers, blower purge dryers, energy management, and troubleshooting, with real-time at the equipment, not just at a whiteboard.
The course is delivered at a TriNova Process Training Unit (PTU) — a full-scale, working process skid with on-line instrumentation and controls — with multiple locations available. Class runs 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with breakfast and lunch provided. CEUs can be awarded on successful completion through TriNova's IACET-accredited program.
- Instructor-led, one-day course (7:30 AM – 4:30 PM) with breakfast and lunch provided
- Delivered at a TriNova Process Training Unit (PTU) with full-scale working process skid, on-line instrumentation, and controls
- Fundamentals of compressed air, the need for clean dry air, filtration, and drains
- Desiccant air dryers — heatless, internally heated, and blower purge — how each works and when to specify each
- Energy management, troubleshooting, and repair for compressed air drying systems
- IACET-accredited, with documented training record
The Outcome
What the Air Dryer Course delivers
Operators who catch moisture problems early
Your team can read a misbehaving dryer and know whether the issue is desiccant condition, a filtration or drain problem, control settings, or a sizing mismatch. Early catches turn into small fixes instead of production downtime or product-quality events.
Right dryer specified for the right application
Maintenance workers and engineers walk away with a clear framework for specifying the proper dryer for the proper application — cutting the guesswork on new installations, replacements, and upgrades that drives oversized, undersized, or wrong-technology decisions.
CEUs and a documented record
Every student can receive CEUs on completion through TriNova's IACET-accredited program, plus a training record your compliance program, OEM warranty terms, and internal development tracking can all use.
An internal team that owns the air system
You build durable in-house competency in compressed air drying — so your team relies less on outside help for routine work and troubleshooting, and uses TriNova for the work that genuinely requires it.
When to schedule training
Common reasons facilities request Air System Training
New operators or maintenance workers who need a foundation in compressed air and drying
Onboarding a team for a new dryer, filtration package, or system expansion
Building internal competency to reduce reliance on outside service for routine troubleshooting and dryer PMs
Refresher training after turnover, retirements, or extended time away from the equipment
Meeting documented operator or maintenance training requirements for compliance, audit, or warranty programs
Air System Training Class FAQs
Where is the training delivered? The Air Dryer Course (D-101) is held at a TriNova Process Training Unit (PTU), a full-scale working process skid with on-line instrumentation and controls — multiple PTU locations are available. Custom on-site delivery at your facility can be arranged for larger groups or when access to your specific equipment is required.
Who should attend? Operators, maintenance workers, and engineers who interact with compressed air systems. The course is structured to add value for newer team members building a foundation and for experienced staff who want a structured refresher — and it's specifically designed to give maintenance workers and engineers a clear framework for specifying the proper dryer for the proper application.
What do students take away? A working understanding of compressed air fundamentals, desiccant and heat-based dryer technologies, filtration and drains, energy management, and troubleshooting — plus a documented IACET-accredited training record and reference materials they can use back at the equipment.
