Industrial Energy Program

Compressed Air Systems

We offer 20 ways you can make your compressed air system more energy efficient and get a rebate for doing it .

Measures you can take include:

• Correctly sizing your compressed air system
• Installing variable speed drive air compressors
• Installing zero loss condensate drains
• Installing new, efficient air dryers
• Adding air compressor waste heat recovery systems
• Replacing pneumatic air tools with electric tools

Whether you use compressed air on your assembly line, shop floor, or for energy storage, a Compressed Air System Energy Audit can help you cut your energy costs. You can choose your own qualified contractor to perform the audit or use one of our contractors.

Process Water System Optimization

In water supply and wastewater treatment, water and energy go hand in hand, with energy being a leading operational cost. In industrial manufacturing, water can be an essential part of plant operations. We offer technical expertise and energy savings solutions for you.

Common areas of energy savings include:

• Pumping – using motor speed control and appropriately sized and configured pumps
• Aeration (typically the most energy intensive step of treatment) – upgrading to more efficient equipment and methods
• Control Systems – increasing precision often results in increased energy efficiency
