Solving Compressed Air Problems For The Long Term

Compressed air is a major expense in many plants, costing directly for equipment and power and indirectly through reduced productivity and scrap product. When your compressed air costs become too high, or when the air system doesn't seem to be operating as efficiently as it could, finding the right solution may mean going outside your plant for expert help. Partnering with a compressed air consultant to do a plant wide air system audit can provide you with concrete data and an action plant that can save your plant hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. This article describes how such a consultant works, and uses one cement plant's story to show how working with a consultant improved the company's bottom line.
