Compressed air costs directly impact industrial energy consumption, often unnoticed. When leaks, excessive consumption, or poor distribution occur, costs increase significantly. Therefore, it's crucial to efficiently monitor and control this system.
With this objective, Alutal held a technical webinar on November 25, 2020. The event featured the participation of Cleder Fortunato, Regional Sales Manager of Alutal — the exclusive distributor of Magnetrol in Brazil — who addressed the topic "Managing Hidden Costs in the Generation of Compressed Air and Other Industrial Gases."
During the presentation, Cleder explained how thermal flow meters work and why they are essential for diagnosing waste. He also highlighted the main loss points in compressed air systems and presented best practices for effectively correcting these failures.
Additionally, Ewerton, a representative of Grupo Moura, shared a success story. After implementing thermal meters, the company was able to identify critical areas and significantly reduce compressed air consumption. The project yielded concrete results and reinforced the importance of accurate measurement for energy efficiency.
Therefore, using technology to map and eliminate losses not only reduces costs but also contributes to more sustainable operations. Industrial sectors that adopt this type of solution reap lasting benefits in productivity and savings.
