對於汽車用油量過多來說，您可以根據光顧加油站的次數以及付出的油資很快得知。而如果工廠使用的壓縮空氣過多，那麼在日常營運中並不會立即發現這種情況，因為壓縮空氣的流失往往幾個月甚至幾年都不會引起注意。有鑑於有些公司缺少相應的能力和專業知識來獨力進行全面的壓縮空氣檢測，因此 Festo 提供了節能服務。經驗豐富的員工將分析空壓機和系統狀態、制定行動計畫、維護氣動元件並始終維持優化的機器狀態。其成果令人印象深刻─高效能生成壓縮空氣、減少壓縮空氣消耗以及壓縮空氣損失顯著減少。生產過程的穩定性得以提高，機器停機時間減少，營運成本降低。如果壓縮空氣的損失減少 100 公升 / 分鐘，代表著每年最多可節省 1000 歐元。
Tate＆Lyle 有 30 多個生產基地將各種原料轉化為數百種高品質成份，例如葡萄糖漿、果糖、葡萄糖和食品穩定劑。為了保持在全球市場上的競爭力，荷蘭 Tate＆Lyle 工廠的維護經理 Remo Dubbeld 於 2012 年初決定使用 Festo 節能服務對所有壓縮空氣系統進行檢測。他解釋說：「就全球競爭力而言，節能是我們 Tate＆Lyle 的關鍵因素。「我們有自己的節能計畫，而 Festo 的節能服務使它更加完美。」
For Tate & Lyle, the service provided by the Festo experts has paid dividends. “Festo thoroughly checked our plant equipment and their leakage detection was perfect,” says Remo Dubbeld. “They found many leaks. Overall we were losing 6,000 litres per minute, which represents approximately eight per cent of our compressed air costs.” On the basis of a market price for compressed air of € 0.025/m³, the company can save around 75,000 euros per year.
Tate & Lyle now carries out monthly leakage detection and repairs with support from Festo and other partners. “The Energy Saving Services team is very well trained and precisely complied with the safety guidelines defined by us”, says Dubbeld, describing the collaboration with Festo. The success achieved in the Netherlands has attracted interest from other Tate & Lyle production locations. “I told colleagues at other plants about Festo’s Energy Saving Services”, explains the maintenance manager. “They have the same energy saving programs that we
have in the Netherlands and we’re now planning to implement these measures in our other European plants as well.”
