Compressed Air & Gas Measurement and Monitoring
Monitoring and measuring your compressed air and gas system will help you identify trends, manage system performance, reduce energy use and quickly detect and respond to potential issues before they happen.
Compressed Air Alliance offers temporary and permanent monitoring and measurement of your compressed air and gas system. We can measure:
- flow
- pressure
- power
- temperature
- consumption
- dew point and
- system efficiency.
From this data, we can establish the cost of operating your compressed air and gas system, identify problems, provide advice on compressor control settings, identify and reduce artificial demand, evaluate opportunities that give you the highest return on investment and help optimise your system.
Online access to Compressed Air Measurement data
Compressed Air Alliance’s Data Acquisition System is a web-based platform which allows you to remotely monitor your compressed air and gas system in real time, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. This gives operators, managers, and other plant personnel the information and analytical tools they need to make data-driven decisions regarding operation, maintenance, and upgrades that will improve the efficiency and reliability of your system.
Our online monitoring and measurement system also allow you to set alarms and SMS or email notifications, receive monthly reports, download data in csv format, track performance against targets and do self assessments to compare your system against best practice.
Learn more about the Data Acquisition System on our Products page or in our blog. Alternatively, contact us for a demonstration.
Why Monitoring, Measurement, Control and Optimisation matters
All compressed air systems are unique. Measuring your compressors and the system’s efficiency can help identify:
- incorrect or poorly configured compressors
- mismatches between compressed air generation and consumption
- artificial demand across the system
- pressure drops across filters, dryers and pipework and
- purity issues like dew point, oil and particle contamination.
Understanding and optimising the generation side of your compressed air system can reduce your energy use and operating cost between 10-20%.
