In August 2004, the San Jose Mercury News, a Knight-Ridder company, upgraded the compressed air system at its printing facility in California. Before the upgrade, the compressed air system had been performing erratically and energy costs were on the rise. Therefore, the Mercury News commissioned a system-level evaluation of the compressed air system by Air Perfection, a U.S. Department of EnergyAllied Partner. The evaluation estimated potential energy savings and suggested improvements, which the plant carried out. The result is a compressed air system that performs better and saves energy because of better compressor control, fewer leaks, more stable pressure levels, and improved air treatment.

Compressed air is a versatile medium used in industry for performing a variety of tasks. It is, however, not cheap. By the time it arrives at its point of use, the energy consumption and costs of the system are already high. Therefore, it is worthwhile investigating ways of making compressed air systems more efficient. This brochure describes how a thorough investigation of a compressed air system can highlight many areas for saving energy. Improvements can be made by optimising the compressed air cycle itself and the compressed air usage, or by such obvious good housekeeping measures as plugging leaks.

In 1999, Weirton Steel completed a project in which the compressed air system at their tin mill in Weirton, West Virginia was completely overhauled. The installation of new compressors, the addition of air treatment equipment, and the repair of leaks significantly reduced compressor shutdowns, production downtime, and product rejects.
