Energy Training

Learn how to optimize your compressed air system—through more effective production and use—to achieve 15 to 25 percent cost savings. MnTAP is coordinating Fundamentals of Compressed Air Systems, a one-day energy best practices workshop geared to facility engineers, operators and maintenance staff.

Participants will be able to:

  • Understand how compressed air systems work and the benefits of optimal compressed air system performance.
  • Compute the current cost of your plant’s compressed air system, measuring and creating a baseline of system performance.
  • Identify steps for proper system operation, maintenance and point-of-use accountability.
  • Take basic approaches for cutting costs.
  • Determine the impact of different compressor control types.
  • Tailor a compressed air system management action plan for your plant.

The first Fundamentals of Compressed Air Systems workshop will be held May 17 in St. Louis Park. A second workshop will be held in northern Minnesota. The workshops are cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Xcel Energy.
