Join keynote speaker Tim Dugan, P.E., President of Compression Engineering Corporation, to explore why compressed air systems should be as redundant and reliable as the electric grid. Most systems are not. This webinar examines common failure scenarios that must be anticipated and designed for so the system can land on its feet when typical failures occur. Case studies of systems that lacked adequate reliability will be reviewed, showing how they should have been designed and outlining design principles for critical air applications. A supply side design philosophy will be used.
Our sponsor speaker is Manhar Grewal, Product Manager, Kaishan. His presentation, “Redundant Equipment, Controls, Sequencing, and Operating Strategy: The Hidden Drivers of Compressed Air Reliability,” explains why systems that look redundant on paper often fail under real conditions. He will show how daily compressor control, sequencing, and operating strategy determine true reliability. Through real world examples, he will illustrate how control strategies, load sharing, and operating logic keep redundancy working during failures, maintenance, and demand swings. The session will also cover best practices for redundant compressors, including ways to optimize operation, reduce wear, lower service costs, and extend maintenance intervals. Attendees will learn how to avoid common control pitfalls, evaluate system reliability under stress, and improve uptime and efficiency without purchasing new equipment.
