Overview: Michelin North America is a branch of the Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin (CGEM), a tire manufacturer headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand, France, that has 18 percent of the global tire market. The first problem was the compressor control strategy. The new control system is capable of maintaining adequate pressure differential between the compressor pressure settings by centralizing the control of all five compressors within one single-pressure band. The installation of new and upgraded controls has resulted in substantial energy savings and improved efficiency of the plant's compressed air system.
