Reduce energy costs by up to 60% in compressed air systems

Learn how to reduce maintenance needs in the future by optimizing your compressed air systems.

In the face of intense competition, many companies are actively seeking opportunities to cut costs in their production processes. Often, significant savings can be found within their existing compressed air systems, which have been operational for several years. Remarkably, up to 60% of energy expenses can be conserved through optimization efforts at both the production facility and system level. However, achieving this target requires a holistic approach, viewing the compressed air system as an interconnected entity.

To achieve substantial energy savings, all aspects of the compressed air system, from generation to preparation, distribution, and application, must be thoroughly analyzed and considered when implementing subsequent measures. Reliable analysis tools and suitable equipment are vital for accurate assessments and successful implementation. Notably, these measures can also lead to reduced maintenance needs in the future, as potential sources of failure are mitigated, thereby increasing process reliability and overall productivity.

This comprehensive Festo white paper covers the following key topics:

  • The cost breakdown of compressed air generation and the impact of leakages
  • Identification of potential energy savings within compressed air systems.
  • Allocation of responsibilities for implementing energy-saving measures and the relevant stakeholders involved.
  • Estimation of the return on investment (ROI) and the timeframe for measure amortization.
  • A practical example illustrating the successful implementation of energy-saving measures.

By following the insights presented in the Festo white paper Reduce energy costs in compressed air systems by up to 60%, companies can uncover significant opportunities for cost reduction and enhanced efficiency within their compressed air systems, enabling them to thrive in the competitive business landscape.
