Airmass Limited Enhances Efficiency for a Large Manufacturing Plant in Runcorn

At Airmass Limited, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative compressed air solutions that help businesses optimise their systems, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency. Recently, we completed a significant project at a large manufacturing plant in Runcorn, where we installed flow meters and dew point sensors to give the client full visibility of their compressed air usage.

The Challenge: Hidden Inefficiencies in Compressed Air Systems

Compressed air is often one of the most expensive utilities in a manufacturing facility, yet inefficiencies can go unnoticed without proper monitoring. The client approached us with concerns about their system’s energy consumption and wanted a way to track air usage, identify waste, and improve reliability.

Without real-time data, it was impossible to pinpoint areas where improvements could be made. Leaks, excessive air consumption, and fluctuating dew points were all potential issues affecting efficiency and production performance.

Our Solution: Smart Monitoring with Flow Meters and Dew Point Sensors

To address these challenges, we installed:

• Flow Meters: These provide real-time data on how much compressed air is being used across different areas of the plant. By tracking usage patterns, the client can identify excessive consumption, leaks, or unnecessary wastage.

• Dew Point Sensors: These ensure that the air is dry enough for production processes, preventing moisture-related damage to equipment and end products. Maintaining the right dew point is crucial for reducing downtime and extending equipment life.

The Impact: Identifying Savings and Improvements

With these monitoring tools in place, the client can now analyse their compressed air usage like never before. Some of the key benefits include:

✅ Leak Detection & Repair: By identifying leaks, the company can reduce wasted energy and cut costs. Even small leaks can lead to significant losses over time.

✅ Optimised Air Consumption: Monitoring usage has allowed the client to adjust processes and reduce unnecessary air consumption, leading to direct energy savings.

✅ Improved Air Quality & Reliability: With real-time dew point monitoring, the company can ensure that moisture-sensitive applications receive consistently high-quality compressed air, reducing the risk of production issues.

✅ Data-Driven Decision Making: The company now has the data needed to make informed investments in system upgrades and improve their overall energy efficiency strategy.
