Energy is becoming more and more expensive and influences the competitiveness of companies. In order to reduce costs, more and more companies are relying on energy-efficient systems. The international energy management standard ISO 50001, which was introduced in June 2011, is also playing an increasingly important role. Many companies - whether small, medium-sized or large - can be certified according to this standard. Many people are not aware that compressed air, which is the largest energy source in the industry after electricity, has a high potential for savings.
ALMiG has developed a special process to uncover possible energy savings in compressed air generation and consumption: The energy balancing system - EBS for short.
Up to 40 % energy saving potential is concealed in almost every compressed air station. In order to detect expensive weak points in your system and optimise your compressed air supply, we take a critical look at all components from the compressed air generator to the compressed air consumer.
Compressed air generation
Energy costs account for up to 90 % of the operating costs for compressed air generation.
Modern, speed-controlled energy-saving compressors save up to 25 % energy.
Controls
Intelligent controls monitor and optimise the overall compressed air station and help to reduce costs and increase operational reliability.
Compressed air treatment
Each application requires a special preparation:
- Too much treatment = unnecessary energy and operating cost
- Too little treatment = loss of quality or even loss of production
Heat recovery
Up to 94 % of the energy used to generate compressed air is converted into heat and can be used in a variety of ways, e.g. as heating or service water.
