The cost of air leakage: A hidden drain on manufacturers' resources
Libby Peacock, a compressed air specialist at Rubix, has highlighted the significant financial challenges faced by production facilities across Europe due to air leakage. She emphasises that this often-overlooked issue can lead to substantial financial losses as well as serious environmental consequences. PWE reports.
Breathing new life into a CO2 compressor
Routine maintenance often highlights items that need repairs, but discovering a major high-pressure asset is severely corroded has the potential to significantly impact operations. One crop nutrition company in Germany identified just such a problem and needed a new compressor cylinder to be installed at the next scheduled shutdown, just six months away. The solution offered by Burckhardt Compression not met the required timeline, and also addressed several other related issues at the same time.

Italian bicycle plant achieves 30% energy savings with upgraded compressed air system
An Italian bicycle manufacturer has significantly improved its energy efficiency by upgrading its compressed air system, achieving a 30% reduction in energy consumption. This enhancement has supported the company's commitment to sustainability and high production standards. H&P reports
New overspeed protection system enhances turbine safety at Huntingdon compressor station
Effective monitoring of turbines including overspeed protection in the power generation industry is critical to ensure smooth running and trouble-free operation, especially in today’s highly competitive and energy cost-conscious environment. Failure of the turbine, or pump speed governing system can lead to rotor damage with expensive consequences. Independent speed monitoring and protection is essential to minimise these risks and the Sentry G3 machine protection system developed by condition monitoring specialists, Sensonics has provided high integrity overspeed protection across a wide range of power generation applications for over 20 years.
New maintenance free compressed air filter does the job of three conventional filters
ERIKS UK & Ireland has launched a new compressed air filtration technology - Expel. The compressed air filter continually removes 99.9999% of water, oil emulsion fluids and solid particulates down to 1 micron. Its design means that users never have to change any internal elements, but simply fit and forget. Typically, it would take three conventional compressed air filters – one each for water, oil emulsion and solid particulates – to do the job of one Expel

Optimising compressed air systems: Reducing costs and enhancing sustainability
In today’s climate of fluctuating energy prices, the inefficiency of compressed air delivery systems can be a significant financial burden. System leaks and outdated filters exacerbate this issue, but an optimised setup can yield substantial savings. Donaldson, a leader in filtration solutions, has demonstrated this potential through a series of efficiency projects.
