AirPAC Plant Air Control System

AirPAC provides the latest in plant air control solutions designed to maximize your plant’s efficiency. ECT delivers high value control solutions for plant air systems with screw, reciprocating and centrifugal compressor networks including standard machine interface kits. Historically, these solutions have been available only in proprietary hardware. ECT now delivers these controls in an open platform using Rockwell Automation hardware and software. Most importantly, payback for an ECT improved plant air control system is typically one year.

The air compressors in your plant are one of your highest energy consumers. Many manufacturers ignore the costs of producing air, even when an average of 79 percent of operating costs can be related to energy consumption.
