At AES, the team has been investigating ways to enhance operational efficiency while remaining on track with our sustainability vision. Most recently, they have purchased two SCR 125 EPM compressors to replace the outdated versions previously in operation.
AES chose carefully and selected the SCR compressors for their advanced energy-saving features, superior capacity, and improved efficiency. The old compressors were energy-intensive, loud, and reaching the end of their efficient lifecycles — whereas the new machines provide a combined total flow capacity of 38 m³/minute. This covers more than the plant’s entire operational needs, ensuring reliability and scalability for the future.
Since their installation, the compressors have played an important role in improving the efficiency of the compressed air supply throughout the AES plant. They are delivering exceptional results, with AES seeing an annual cost saving of $38,452—a significant return on investment for such a short period of time. And this lower energy consumption not only reduces costs, but significantly reduces the plant’s overall carbon footprint.
Alex Cooper, AES Business Manager says:
“By investing in advanced, efficient technology, AES has set a benchmark for operational excellence and environmental stewardship; underscoring the importance of adopting sustainable practices in industrial operations.”
