Industrial Sustainability Best Practices Conference 2025 Announces Presentation on Compressed Air Systems Management

04/03/2025

The Industrial Sustainability Best Practices Conference, taking place June 17-18 in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain, announced the presentation “Compressed Air Systems: Integral Management and Artificial Intelligence,” led by Mario Baena Simón, Energy & Control Engineer, Ingersoll Rand.

Compressed air generation can account for more than 40% of a plant’s energy consumption. Optimizing and adjusting this consumption to maximize the use of the compressor room is a significant challenge for manufacturers and users. Traditional actions related with the installation of a variable speed air compressor, such as reducing pressure drop, adjusting working pressure, monitoring leaks or installing basic control systems, are making way for much more complex control systems. This session will explore these advanced systems that analyze real-time compressed air demand and adjust compressed air production accordingly, achieving optimal efficiency for every cubic meter of compressed air generated.

The Conference will be led by 24 industrial experts with presentations covering the event’s main focus topics including energy/water conservation and food-safe system design and quality verification.
