THIS TRAINING CANCELLED. We plan to move forward with the Fundamentals of Compressed Air class scheduled on October 12, 2021 in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

This one-day introductory course is designed to teach facility engineers, operators and maintenance staff how to achieve 15-25% cost savings through more effective production and use of compressed air. The instructor will identify basic approaches for cutting costs; identify steps for proper system operation, maintenance, and point-of- use accountability; and show you how to tailor a compressed air system management action plan for your plant.

This course is also a highly recommended prerequisite to the two day Level 2-Advanced Management of Compressed Air scheduled to be in Fayetteville on October 13-14, 2021.

Attendance will be limited due to COVID-19; social distancing and sanitary precautions will be followed within the classroom to provide a safe training environment for instructors and attendees.

This class is sponsored by Energy Efficiency Arkansas and is subsidized for Arkansas residents.

Approximately one week in advance of the class you will be sent an information packet with pre-class work to complete prior to the training. Finishing this exercise will enable you to use data to calculate costs and estimate performance at your specific facility.

Participants will Learn to:

Calculate the energy cost of compressed air in their facility
Improve compressed air system efficiency and reliability
Identify inappropriate uses of compressed air
Establish a baseline by which improvements in compressed air performance and efficiency can be measured
Match system supply to actual production requirements for pressure and flow
Find and repair leaks while establishing a leak prevention program
Better control compressed air to improve productivity and profitability

Who Should Participate?

This training has been developed for end users, maintenance and operations staff, plant managers, engineers, distributors, manufacturers, vendors or consultants.

*Attendees earn credit for six (6) hours of attendance for this training*

The Compressed Air Challenge is a Department of Energy recommended, voluntary collaboration of industrial users; manufacturers, distributors and their associations; facility operating personnel and their associations; energy efficiency organizations, and utilities. The mission of the Compressed Air Challenge is to provide resources that educate industry about optimizing their compressed air systems and thereby increasing net profits.
