The Energy Efficiency Services (EES) division of Compressed Air and Power Solutions (CAPS) has expanded its range of services and increased the number of staff available to carry out compressed air energy audits.
With compressed air being responsible for 10 to 15% of industrial electricity use, an air audit can reveal opportunities to reduce energy consumption and overall business costs, the company says.
While compressed air is an important part of most manufacturing and industrial processes, many systems operate inefficiently with old technology or ineffective controls. Large volumes of air are wasted through leaks, inappropriate usage and other artificial demands such as over-pressurisation. Audits regularly show that less than half of the compressed air produced is used for actual productive activities.
With the right advice and experience it is possible for companies to achieve savings, CAPS says. Making use of the audit expertise of a consultant to develop commercially viable and operationally feasible solutions will help companies achieve their goals.
Sustainability continues to be a major goal of business across most industry sectors. A key factor in this is the minimisation of energy consumption and waste of resources. EES has designed a software suite and air audit hardware package, which it has teamed with extensive training and development of its engineers and technicians to undertake audits.
To assist in driving implementable recommendations, additional industry experts have also been employed to conduct the air audits, provide analysis and provide independent reports.
