Compressed Air System Efficiency and Maintenance

Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities on a plant, and leaking, poorly maintained systems waste large amounts of electricity every year. This programme shows maintenance teams how to service compressors, dryers and distribution networks while also cutting the energy waste that inflates the running cost. The content reflects the pressure on South African operations to reduce electricity spend without compromising production.
