Compressed Air Efficiency in Waste Water Treatment
Waste water treatment facilities rely on compressed air for aeration, process control, pneumatic equipment, filtration, sludge handling and other treatment operations. Since aeration and air-driven processes can operate continuously, compressed air systems can represent a significant source of energy consumption.
Air Energy Audit evaluates compressed air systems to identify leakage, excessive pressure, pressure losses, inefficient compressor operation and unnecessary air consumption.

MaintenanceCommon Compressed Air Wastage Areas
Waste water treatment facilities can experience compressed air losses through leakage, excessive pressure, inefficient aeration and poorly controlled applications.
Air Leakage
Leaks in piping, fittings, hoses and pneumatic equipment create continuous air losses.
Excessive Pressure
Higher than necessary pressure increases compressor energy consumption.
Open Blow-Off
Uncontrolled compressed air use for cleaning can create unnecessary demand.
Equipment Leaks
Leakage from valves, actuators and pneumatic equipment can remain unnoticed.
Pressure Drop
Poor distribution design and restrictions can create pressure losses across the system.
Idle Equipment
Equipment that remains connected while not operating can continue consuming compressed air.
Inefficient Controls
Poor compressor sequencing and control settings can increase energy consumption.
Artificial Demand
Poorly regulated applications can consume more air than the treatment process requires.
