Problem
- Improper control of air supply

- Air starvation as well as excess air pressure to equipment

- Higher electrical consumption

- Frequent on-off operation of compressor.
Objective
To maintain supply of compressed air at the right pressure and load.
Solution
- Air audit to study the load capacity and distribution lines.

- Identification of process conditions and loads.

- Interlocks like air-to-close / bypass for peak demand identified.

- Installation of Master Air Control(MAC) at the appropriate section of the process.
Benefits
- 7- 8% savings on partial loads.

- Projected savings of 12-15 % on full loads.

- Improved process due to of constant air pressure supply.

- Quick payback
