The Untapped Potential of Low-Cost Quick Wins in Industrial Compressed Air Efficiency

Industrial processes heavily rely on compressed air systems, and optimizing their efficiency can unlock substantial savings for businesses. At Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions, we conduct compressed air audits to identify low-cost quick wins that often go unnoticed by many clients.

The Challenge of Implementation: Overcoming Priorities and Time Constraints

One common challenge we encounter is the failure of clients to implement identified solutions promptly. Despite our audit team's recommendations for fixing leaks, making process improvements, and ensuring correct air pressures, many clients struggle to address these issues due to competing priorities and time constraints.

Crafting a Strategic Plan for Demand-Side Savings

Implementing changes on the demand side requires a strategic approach. We recommend treating compressed air efficiency as a project with clear goals and milestones. By prioritizing opportunities and measuring before and after results, businesses can ensure the successful implementation of cost-saving measures.

Running It as a Project: The Key to Success

To capture savings effectively, treat your compressed air efficiency improvements as a project. Establish clear project deliverables based on audit findings and prioritize them to maximize savings. Lack of clear priorities can impede progress, especially in the initial stages.

Measurement Matters: Quantifying Success

A crucial aspect of any project is measurement. Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions offers expertise in installing metering systems, allowing businesses to measure both the supply side and demand side opportunities. Accurate measurement sets the stage for a successful implementation and provides tangible results.

Tackling Priority One: Slashing Demand Efficiently

With a solid measurement plan in place, focus on priority one. This could involve addressing major leaks in a specific zone of your compressed air system. Work closely with your project manager and relevant team members to fix identified issues, enabling a 'before and after' comparison of compressed air and power consumption.

Repeat for Remaining Opportunities: A Phased Approach

After successfully tackling priority one, repeat the process for remaining opportunities. Plan each phase meticulously, find and fix issues, and compare before-and-after metrics. Simplify project management by staying clear on objectives and demonstrating measurable results.

Comprehensive Compressed Air Audits: A Starting Point

All successful compressed air savings plans begin with a comprehensive compressed air audit. Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions specializes in providing thorough Compressed Air Audits to help industrial companies achieve the best return on their compressed air systems.
