6 Steps to Maximizing Compressor Performance

Are you maximizing your compressed air output to satisfy your production needs while minimizing operational costs? Energy and air consultants can help determine the optimal operating balance for your compressed air system while implementing strategies to reduce costs and increase savings.

In a manufacturing facility, the compressed air system is usually an area of significant untapped energy savings potential. Energy audits can typically save a manufacturer 30 to 50 percent and the residual benefits, such as lower energy costs and higher production line efficiency, usually pay for the initial investment.

Here are the six steps Atlas Copco energy and air consultants take to maximize compressor performance and energy savings:

1. Identify potential savings through a pre-assessment.
2. Perform an AIRScan energy audit to identify areas for improvement.
3. Present recommendations for more efficient components, technology or strategies.
4. Implement recommended energy saving products and solutions.
5. Monitor new products and solutions to ensure energy savings.
6. Regular AIRScan energy audits validate improvements and identify additional areas for energy savings.
