SensiNet® Improves Efficiency in Compressed Air Systems While Reducing Operating Costs in Manufacturing Facilities

From Sensicast Systems, Inc.
 

 

Hollingsworth & Vose Company, with its advanced R&D and pilot manufacturing facilities, drives value in its customers' products by inventing next-generation materials with superior performance. H&V's products are found in applications such as engine filtration, high-efficiency air and liquid filtration, battery separators, gasket materials, and specialty and industrial non-wovens.

National Grid's core business is the delivery of electricity and natural gas. In addition, their subsidiary, National Grid Wireless, provides telecommunications infrastructure and services.

The Hollingsworth & Vose paper mill in Ayer, Massachusetts uses compressed air to power equipment in their manufacturing facility.

According to the Department of Energy, over $1.5 billion per year is spent by US industry on electricity used to compress air. The average compressed air system runs at 30 to 50% inefficiency resulting in higher than needed operating costs.

National Grid services the Hollingsworth & Vose facility in Ayer, and is interested in containing and lowering electric usage in this service area through joint programs with customers focused on conserving electricity.
