Fundamentals of Compressed Air Systems is a one-day introductory course designed to teach facility engineers, operators and maintenance staff how to achieve 15 - 25% cost savings through more effective production and use of compressed air.

Participants will learn how to:

• Calculate the energy cost of compressed air in their facility
• Improve compressed air system efficiency and reliability
• Identify inappropriate uses of compressed air
• Establish a baseline by which they can measure improvements in compressed air performance and efficiency
• Match system supply to actual production requirements for pressure and flow
• Find and fix leaks
• Establish a leak prevention program
• Better control compressed air to improve productivity and profitability

Make your company more protable by getting smarter about compressed air. Through a series of workshops, the Compressed Air Challenge® helps you evaluate your own systems and apply proven techniques.
