The operating challenge
The original installation had eleven compressors across three locations, with two permanently out of service. Limited storage and restricted piping contributed to pressure fluctuations and production risk.
02 · Implementation
What changed
Industrial Air Centers installed four 300-hp compressors, including two VSD units, with Airleader management. Piping, air treatment and storage were upgraded; two older machines remained as backup.
