For plant and facility engineers
Know what your compressed air really costs, where it goes, and which fixes are worth doing first.
Why compressed air is hard to manage
It doesn't show on the bill
The compressors are often one of the biggest electrical loads in the plant, yet few plants know what their air costs per 1,000 cubic feet.
Pressure complaints
When a machine at the far end runs short of pressure, the usual answer is to turn the compressors up, and every extra psi costs energy all day.
Proposals that are hard to judge
A vendor recommends a new compressor or controls. Without your own data, it's hard to know what it will really save.
What CAS ASSiST shows you
- What your air costs. The load profile, specific power, and where the hours and the energy go.
- Pressure to the far end. The pressure lost on the way out to the far end of the system, whether the piping or a restriction causes it, and what it costs.
- Leaks and dryer purge in dollars. The air that does no work, and what it costs a year.
- What to fix first. Recommendations ranked by what they save, with savings that act on the same waste counted once.
- Your data stays with you. It runs on your own computer; the only thing sent out is a weather lookup for the site's location and dates.
