Goals

  • Diagnose inefficiencies and hidden energy losses in the compressed air systems.
  • Identify opportunities to safely reduce pressure.
  • Deliver a clear path forward and establish internal ownership.
  • Evaluate risks and reliability when integrating an additional 1000 HP compressor.

Challenges

  • Aging infrastructure and unclear flow capacities across the compressed air network.
  • Three isolated compressed air systems with only intermittent cross-connection
  • Manual interventions by operators to meet fluctuating production demands (e.g., "air assist").
  • Inconsistent control strategies and limited instrumentation, reducing visibility into system behaviour.

Discovered Potentials

  • Identified critical gaps in control logic, metering, system design, and operator practices.
  • Opportunities found for: Control strategy improvements, Metering upgrades, System redesign and Operator retraining.
  • Potential energy savings of nearly $500,000 identified.
  • Clear prioritized action plan to improve system performance and reduce risk when expanding capacity.
