Case Study

Case Study #1

Type of Company: A premier boat manufacturer
Objective: To improve the customer's compressed air system and provide clean, dry air. Customer had over 15 piston compressors ranging from 5HP to 30HP. These units were running at all times and breaking down frequently causing expensive downtime. The air quality was very poor with lots of moisture in the lines. Solution: Installed (2) Kaeser 75HP Rotary Screw compressors with refrigerated air dryers and 1,550 gallon vertical tanks. Installed approximately 1,600' of 63MM (2 ½") TransAir aluminum pipe with 120 air line drops.
Result: Customer now has clean, dry, reliable air.

Case Study #3

Type of Company: A premier producer cement and building materials
Objective: To make compressed air system more efficient, reduce water carryover into plant, provide constant air flow of 95 psi to plant. Solution: Removed (2) 150HP Rotary Vane units, installed (4) 2,200 and (3) 1,660 gallon air receiver tanks, installed approximately 1,000' of 100MM (4") TransAir aluminum pipe with needed fittings.
Result: Customer started off with (7) compressors running at all times - (5) 100HP units and (2) 150HP units totaling 800HP running 24/7. This was reduced to 550HP and resulted in an electrical savings of $150,000 in the 1st 12 months of operation.

Case Study #4

Type of Company: railroad transportation facility
Objective: Compressed air was being generated continuously by locomotives throughout the night. Objective was to replace the locomotives with air compressors to satisfy local noise ordinances.
Solution: Installed (2) 30HP Kaeser Rotary Screw Compressor Packages and (1) 1,060 gallon air receiver tank, poured concrete slab, installed a shed with ventilation to house the compressors, ran airlines underground.
Result: Customer has a turnkey installation supplying the compressed air needed to run the brake system on their trains. This is a redundant energy saving system. The system saved the customer immeasurable amount of fuel and also appeased the local authorities.
