Air Compression
Compressed air is one of the most expensive components of a business or plant that consumes energy. In facilities that require compressed air, approximately 10% of the energy used in that facility is used by the compressor. By taking a few simple steps to control an air compressor’s consumption of energy, there could be significant savings for your business.
- You can reduce compressed air costs by analyzing compressor operation and reducing leaks.
- Use a systems approach while operating and maintaining a compressed air system.
- Compressors can be staged with controls to optimize performance.
- Implement a company-wide compressed air management policy to eliminate unnecessary uses, fixing leaks and synchronizing use with supply and demand.
- Smaller compressors can be used to operate during unoccupied periods.
