10 Ways To Reduce Industrial Compressor Energy Costs
Should saving energy be of interest to the industrial compressor user? If you are using compressed air in your plant, your company is typically wasting energy which equates to wasted dollars. In fact, estimates indicate that poorly designed and maintained compressed air systems in the United States account for up to $3.2 billion in wasted utility payments every year.”(1) Here are 10 ways to to reduce energy use in your compressed air production: 1. Eliminate Compressed Air Leaks “Leaks are
Seven Tips To Cut Wastewater Aeration Energy Costs With Thermal Mass Flow Meters
Figure 1. FCI ST100 Thermal Flow Meter at WWT Plant One of the biggest expenses in wastewater treatment operations is the cost of energy to run the blowers and compressors that produce air for the aeration basins. The figures most often cited are that 40 to 50 percent of a wastewater plant’s total energy usage can be attributed to the aeration process. By measuring the system’s air flows with accurate, repeatable air flow meters, the aeration process can be better
