Compressed air is vital for industrial manufacturing processes and is quite often referred to as the fourth utility. At the same time, it is a very heavy energy consumer. The US Department of Energy estimates that half of all compressed air is wasted due to leaks, artificial demand, and inappropriate uses.

This presentation covers key strategies for improving energy efficiency in compressed air systems. It covers ways of providing immediate, medium-term, and ongoing savings opportunities.

Join compressed air experts, Grayson Atkinson, Neil Mehltretter, and Werner Rauer as they discuss proper design of air system supply, the key elements of a worthwhile compressed air audit; and best practices for distribution piping.

Specific topics include:
· The impact of oversizing compressors
· The differences between unit and system controls
· Setting the proper plant pressure
· The value of performing a compressed air audit
· Advantages and disadvantages of piping materials
· Elements of a good leak detection program
