Designed specifically for plant engineers, maintenance leaders, facility managers, and energy specialists who are evaluating or designing compressed air systems, this 45‑minute webinar delivers practical, actionable guidance on selecting, sizing, and validating efficient compressed air architectures. Get in‑depth information on core system components (generation, air treatment, storage, and distribution), piping standards and material trade‑offs, cost‑of‑ownership scenarios, and proven strategies to improve energy efficiency and ROI—plus insights into Parker’s component solutions.
Whether you’re upgrading a legacy installation, expanding capacity, or building a new facility, this webinar gives you the engineering insight to accelerate design, improve air quality and reliability, and reduce lifecycle cost.
What you will gain from this webinar:
- A clear view of core components and integration — compressors, air treatment, storage, and distribution systems working together for stable performance.
- A decision framework for piping materials and connections — compare options to minimize pressure drop, corrosion, and leaks while simplifying retrofit and expansion.
- A TCO and efficiency toolkit — compare design scenarios, quantify savings, and build a credible ROI case for investment.
- Practical design practices — right‑sizing, layout, storage strategy, and treatment selection to lower cost of ownership.
