What is the compressed air guide referenced on this Northmore Gordon page?

It is a guide developed jointly by The Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) and Northmore Gordon, aimed at businesses that use compressed air in their operations, particularly those with multiple compressor systems.

Who wrote the Northmore Gordon article about the compressed air guide?

The article was written by Danielle O'Reilly and published on May 26, 2024.

Who should use this compressed air guide according to Northmore Gordon?

Northmore Gordon recommends the guide for businesses that use compressed air in their operations, particularly those operating multiple compressor systems.

Under which category is this article listed on the Northmore Gordon site?

The article is listed under the 'Articles' section of the Northmore Gordon website.

What should a business start with before assessing its compressed air system?

According to the knowledge base, an assessment should begin with identifying the required service: which tasks in the facility need compressed air, at what pressure and quality, and during which operating periods. A compressor purchase should follow that assessment rather than define it.

What are the key investigation areas government guidance identifies for compressed air systems?

Government guidance identifies unnecessary uses (tasks that don't require compressed air or can be performed without it), leaks (unintended air escapes that waste energy), idling (equipment operating without productive output), pressure settings (ensuring optimal pressure aligned with critical user requirements), and compressor sequencing (coordinated control of multiple compressors across varying demand).

What information should be recorded to build an operating picture of a compressed air system?

You should record compressor capacities and controls, production shifts (when compressed air is actually needed), required pressure at critical users, available energy/pressure data, plant shutdown connectivity (which parts remain connected when production stops), and leak survey findings and power profiles, combining different types of evidence rather than assuming one describes the entire system.

What question should be asked when considering reducing unnecessary compressed air demand?

When evaluating whether to reduce unnecessary demand, the key question is whether the production task can still be performed to the required standard.

What question should be asked when considering repairing leaks in a compressed air system?

When evaluating leak repairs, the key question is what evidence shows the effect under comparable operations.
