| dc.description.abstract | Many plants do not have sufficient backup compressor capacity and risk having production outages due to compressor failures. Today, system designs are available that can eliminate this risk; however, there is a cost associated with doing so. In this article, we first point out why not every plant needs backup capacity and why those that do, do not always need to store sufficient air to carry the system through the start up of the backup compressor. Second, we discuss how personnel may be able to provide backup compressor capacity without installing another compressor and third, we discuss how to configure the system to reduce operating costs. Finally, we discuss how to reduce the required storage capacity needed to carry the system through the start up of the backup compressor. | en |
