Compressed Air System Optimisation (CASO)

Compressed Air Systems are among the most dynamic, complex, and energy-intensive systems in any industry. They often represent significant opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and cost savings. Even basic awareness of these systems can reveal highly attractive energy management opportunities.
CASO User Level Training
The UNIDO Compressed Air System Optimisation (CASO) User Level training course introduces participants to the operational aspects of compressed air systems, including supply, distribution, treatment, and demand. Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of the system components, their dynamic interactions, and a step-by-step approach to system optimisation. This course enables the identification and quantification of energy management opportunities across the entire system.
Participants who successfully complete the training and pass the required test may qualify for the Expert Level training.
What you will learn:
- Introduction to Compressed Air Systems, Compressor Types, Operation, and Applications.
- Air Treatment, Dryers, Storage, Filtration, and Distribution.
- Reducing Compressed Air Waste, Leakages, Artificial Demand, and Inappropriate Use.
- Compressed Air System Assessments, Pressure Profiles, Demand Profiles, System Energy Balances, Data Collection & Analysis, Heat Recovery, and Case Studies.
CASO Expert Level Training
The UNIDO CASO Expert Level course takes place in real industrial settings. Participants are equipped with monitoring tools to perform analyses and develop practical solutions. This hands-on training provides an in-depth understanding of the techniques and tools required to identify, design, and implement energy optimisation opportunities effectively.
Body of Knowledge
- Supply side (Introduction, understanding and their application)
- Demand side (Leakages, Artificial demand, inappropriate use)
- Treatment & Distribution (Air treatment, distribution)
- System Assessment (Assessment, pressure profile, demand profile and system energy balance, Data collection and analysis, heat recovery, case studies)
The training program exceeded my expectations and offers exceptional value, both in knowledge
gained and cost.
Very professional, insightful and deliberate. It makes a tremendous improvement on what industry professionals have learnt by experience, correcting wrong notions while also imparting new information that help greatly with career development and advancement, all with in-depth knowledge and real life industry examples. Great course.
I would like to thank IEPA for making these trainings available and for availing such great a
trainer to deliver complex knowledge in a simple understandable way.
An excellent training offering, superbly packaged and professionally presented. I felt privileged
to have had the opportunity to participate, and have certainly benefited thereby.
CASO training was eye-opening for me. I learned about new energy conservation opportunities that I never once knew. I have previously audited several facilities with compressed air systems and it was always hard for me to identify energy-saving opportunities given my electrical engineering background.
