Wuppermann Staal Nederland installs energy efficient compressor/dryer to save 240,000 kWh p.a.

Wuppermann Staal Nederland has successfully completed the erection and start-up of a new compressor/dryer combi to secure the plant’s compressed air requirement for the next decade. The new compressor/dryer has been manufactured and installed by Kaeser Kompressoren and combines improved reliability with an annual power saving of 10% or 240,000 kWh, equivalent to the power consumption of 85 households.
Dennis van Helden (Project Manager): ´The project has been completed in time and within budget by close cooperation between Kaeser and Wuppermann maintenance and production staff.´ In the next phase further energy savings will be realized by recovering the heat generated during compression to reduce natural gas consumption for heating of the offices.
