TRACK 2: Session 1 & 2: CAGI Education Seminar - Compressed Air Efficiency, Auditing Practices and Certification
Tuesday, October 13, 8-10:30 a.m.
Neil Mehltretter, Technical Director, Kaeser Compressors
When a cement plant needed to improve its compressed air station, instead of simply requesting quotes for new equipment, it conducted a comprehensive compressed air audit. The audit focused on the supply side of the system consisting of 10 stationary air compressors and two portable air compressors scattered across eight different locations throughout the facility. This presentation will review the audit findings and detail the station improvements.
Providing on-site nitrogen generation is a growing trend for many manufacturing plants, but it depends on the purity and scale of the project. This case study will review the overall station design and ROI for one such system.
