Compressed air is one of the principal forms of energy used in industrial processes. It is often the most expensive when evaluated on a per-unit, energy delivered basis. In addition, compressed air systems typically develop operational issues and air leaks as they age. By implementing a thorough compressed air system analysis, the typical industrial facility can eliminate up to 22% of its compressed air energy costs.
A compressed air system analysis consists of a complete review of the compressed air system from the air intake to the end users, plus a compressed air leak detection and correction program. A successful compressed air system analysis involves performing the following 12 steps.
STEP 1. Conduct a walkthrough of the entire plant or specific areas to be reviewed...
