Overview: A compressed air system improvement project was implemented at the Mobil lubrication plant in Vernon, California. The compressed air system was modified because the plant was retooled into a distribution facility that uses comparatively less energy. The impending need to replace the aging compressors, coupled with the change in the plant's operation, led to an evaluation of the plant's utility needs. One evaluation performed by a local engineering company recommended replacing the compressors with two 75-hp compressors and adding dedicated dryers and a pressure flow controller. The system reconfiguration and leak repair provided significant improvements to the Vernon plant's compressed air system.
