Airworx
CompAir, reducing costs
AirWorx has been developed as a service package based on CompAir skills, technology and hardware. AirWorx enables major users of compressed air to save money, meet energy reduction targets, reduce capital investment in plant and maybe most importantly stop worrying about compressed air. You simply purchase the compressed air you need from CompAir.
Generally 30 % of the compressed air generated is wasted. The energy saving potential is significant as industry is currently using 8-10% of its electricity consumption for compressing air.
Compressed Air the 4th Utility
Compressed air is generally treated as a support function. Depending on the application the quality and availability of the compressed air may have a significant effect on the plant's core production. However, as a support activity it seldom warrants the attention it really deserves leading to operating costs much higher than necessary.
From the users point of view, compressed air is only another utility comparable to electricity, water or gas. These other utilities are however mostly generated off site and simply supplied to the end user as required. The nature of compressed air does not allow for it to be transported for distances and therefore most users historically own and run their own compressed air systems.
With this in mind CompAir has developed an innovative program for outsourcing of your compressed air that we call AirWorx. In most circumstances there are significant operational cost savings that can be realised with an AirWorx supply agreement.
Your partner for Compressed Air
CompAir is well aware of the fact that the AirWorx approach is very much a partnership agreement. For this to be successful, it must benefit both parties. This benefit comes from the improvement in system performance and from allowing both parties to focus on their core businesses. We do not have one model that will be applied to all AirWorx contracts. Instead we are prepared to work together with you to find the solution that best fits your needs by using a modular approach.
An essential part of creating a solution is to assess the starting point and the requirements. Compressed air systems often develop over decades and the applications and performance can be very individual. Compressed air users also do not generally have a very accurate understanding of the system or compressed air related costs , due to the usually low priority of compressed air.
The AirWorx AirAudit… the 1st step
In order to allow both parties to understand the present performance of the supply side as well as the distribution network, we strongly suggest that system measurements are performed. This is an important part of the AirWorx approach and we call it an AirWorx AirAudit.
By signing up for an AirAudit, your company does not commit to anything further, other than working together towards an optimum AirWorx proposal.
