Overview

The Advanced Management of Compressed Air Systems Training Course offers a detailed examination of the theory and practice of compressed air system operation. It provides the right technical training and resources to implement energy-saving techniques in your facility.

This intensive two-day training will teach students how to:

  • Collect/Use data and tools to assess the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a compressed air system;
  • Develop and use a system profile;
  • Implement a system maintenance program;
  • Address air quality, highest pressure requirements, and high-volume intermittent applications;
  • Understand complex control system strategies;
  • Align the supply side to demand side operation;
  • Explain the value of heat recovery;
  • Successfully sell compressed air improvement projects to management.

Did you know?

  • At 8 cents/kWh a typical 50 HP compressor operating 2 shifts a day uses $11,600 of electricity annually.
  • The cost of operating a typical compressed air system can be reduced by 20-30%.
  • It takes about 8 HP of electricity to produce 1 HP of compressed air.
  • Most of the electrical energy going to a compressor becomes heat which can be recovered by producing usable hot water or hot air.
