This is an intensive two-day training which provides in-depth technical information for troubleshooting and making improvements to industrial compressed air systems. Two instructors will be present to provide detailed, hands-on classroom instruction and individual assistance.

Registration closes November 1, 2019.

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:

• Develop and use a system profile;
• Collect and use data and tools to assess the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a compressed air system;
• Implement a system maintenance program;
• Address air quality, highest pressure requirements and high-volume intermittent applications;
• Understand complex control system strategies;
• Align the supply side to demand side operation;
• Explain the value of heat recovery; and
• Successfully sell compressed air improvement projects to management.

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 14 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.

About the Instructor(s):

Mr. Eric Bessey is licensed professional mechanical engineer and compressed air systems specialist with over 20 years of experience, Eric has performed over 100 compressed air system assessments. Eric has extensive knowledge with low and medium voltage reciprocating, rotary screw,, and centrifugal compressor types as well as supporting treatment equipment. He is also largely responsible for the development of AIRMaster+, a nationally recognized software program used to model existing and improved compressed air systems. He is a certified USDOE AIRMaster+ Specialist as well as a certified instructor for the Compressed Air Challenge and AIRMaster+. On a daily basis at TTed Solutions, he is responsible for leading assessments, developing control system proposals, managing installation of master control systems, and providing training and technical support.

Mr. Frank Moskowitz has an extensive background with over 30 years of experience in plant engineering. He has a degree in mechanical engineering and education, including the refrigeration, electrical, plumbing trades. For the past 20 years, Frank has been an associate of Draw Professional Services primarily in the auditing, consulting, training and system design fields. His specialty consists of Compressed Air Systems (oil flooded and oil free), Vacuum Systems, Contaminate Removal, System Design and Energy Management. Frank is a compressed air challenge instructor for the Fundamentals and Advanced level of training, an AIRMaster+ instructor and a Department of Energy (energy savings) expert on compressed air systems. Frank is also Vice-Chair for ASME Standard EA-4-2010 “Energy Assessment for Compressed Air Systems”; and is a member of International Standards Organization (ISO) technical committee for Air Compressors and compressed air systems energy management; TC118/SC6/WG4.

Lunch will be provided and out of state attendees are welcome to register for this training at the full cost of $569.00.
