Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) is a combined unit which performs three functions to clean, control pressure and lubricate the air. A number of units are available varying in the type of filter, regulator and lubricator used in the unit wherein each has its own merits and demerits. In this paper different types of FRL components are discussed which are present till date. FRL is mainly used for industrial purposes to provide clean air used in different tools used in the industry that are operated upon air pressure known as pneumatic tools. This unit is necessary as it cleans the air because compressed air coming from the compressor contains a number of undesirable particles, oil, moisture etc. which can damage the tools and the pipeline through which it passes. Thus this review will help to understand the importance of the FRL unit in the industry more specifically for those where pneumatic tools are used. These tools are operated with this compressed high pressurized air and this compressed air is filtered with this FRL unit before reaching the tools to protect the operator from the harmful effects of the unfiltered air.
