Dairy Processing Facility · Ontario, Canada · 24/7 Operations
Compressed air is a key service at this 24/7 dairy processing operation, with demand peaking at over 2,000 CFM. A Panevo audit discovered that three aging 200 HP water-cooled rotary screw compressors were operating inefficiently, resulting in electricity consumption equivalent to almost 18% of the site's total usage. Once-through city water cooling added substantial water costs, while two older, air-purge desiccant dryers further affected system efficiency.
Verified Specific Energy Consumption: Post-installation metering confirms the new system operates at industry-leading efficiency, validating the equipment selection and system design.
Right-sized compressor fleet: Properly sized fixed-speed and variable-speed rotary screw compressors matched to the facility's load profile, eliminating chronic unloaded operation and delivering industry-leading system efficiency.
Air-cooled equipment with heated blower purge dryers: Elimination of once-through municipal water cooling and replacement of inefficient air-purge desiccant dryers, reducing both energy and water operating costs.
Multi-vendor lifecycle cost analysis: A rigorous cost-benefit assessment across vendors and configurations gave the client the information needed to make a confident, informed investment decision.
Custom sub-metering infrastructure: Dedicated power and flow metering deployed across all system components for IPMVP compliant verification and full incentive recovery.
24/7 live facility: All installation work was phased and sequenced around active production, with creative line tie-ins to ensure no disruption to site operation during the 8-month implementation.
Utility program compliance: Panevo managed the full IESO Save on Energy incentive application, technical submissions, and a 12-month IPMVP Option B verification program, along with ensuring $360,000 in funding was secured for the client.
