Compressed air is a vital power for many market sectors. Efficiency, reliability, and safety are the most important aspects of a compressed air system. Our specialist team take a full system approach to explore all these aspects to maximise productivity, safety and savings. Efficiency – Compressed air is commonly known as the fourth utility as it takes considerable electrical power to run systems. It is therefore essential to ensure that the system is regularly audited to ensure it is as efficient as possible. This involves data logging the compressors to understand how they are running - this information offers an insight into whether the compressors are sized and performing correctly and whether there are ways of substantially reducing energy consumption such as reducing air leaks, reducing pressure, connecting pipework systems. A full analysis from point of use applications, pipework, air treatment, pressure, control systems and technologies need to be considered to ensure optimum efficiency.Reliability – Planned preventative maintenance with a professional service team is a key requisite to ensure long term plant reliability. Alongside this, environmental aspects need to be considered such as a suitable ambient temperature, weather protection, prevention of dust ingress, and adequate air intake and hot air outlet.Safety –The Pressure System Safety Regulations 2000 is the Regulation in place to help prevent serious injury from the hazards of pressurised compressed air because of the failure of a pressure system or one of its component parts. A Written Scheme of Examination should be completed and planned maintenance performed in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations.Our primary focus is to help clients achieve the above to benefit their business and build long term partnerships.
