The purpose of Towards zero is to raise awareness and address the energy-saving potential in compressed air systems.
Training
Training is always the first step. It creates an understanding of the complexities of compressed air but more importantly why it is such an expensive resource to use and waste.
Compressed Air Management
Within TowardsZero we have developed and work according to a compressed air management concept based on experience of close to 20 000 projects.
Asset Management
The investments in compressed air systems are for multinational companies significant. We establish control over capacity available, co-ordinate service agreements, technical specs and extend lifespan .
Towards zero
learn analyze achieve your goals
The goal of the TowardsZero foundation is to unite some of the world´s leading compressed air experts, to utilize each others expertise and make compressed air management available to customers under a common established approach and concept.
5-STEP APPROACH FOR ONGOING COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM OPTIMISATION BY CATZ
The path to secure supply and verified efficiency.
Compressed air management
- Reliability
- know-how
- financials
- sustainability
- control
Reliability
Establishing a reliable compressed air system is the key task for any compressed air manager. Although many other aspects are important, they are secondary to reliability.
Financials
Understanding the factors that constitute the CA cost is the basis for virtually all decisions in a compressed air system. Understanding - CA Operating cost (Total cost), CA Energy cost, Maintenance cost, Rental cost, Potential savings, SEC are fundamental for a compressed air management system.
Sustainability
Energy and CO2 reductions, improved workplace safety, education are all part of the sustainability goals. It is the key message in the TowardsZero concept.
Verification
The overwhelming majority of compressed air users all over the world share the problem of insufficient data made available. The reasons for this can be discussed but the problem is a central issue and inhibits problem identification, decisions and ultimately the verification of proposed actions. It is therefore a key issue to resolve – identifying and establishing the appropriate KPI´s for the customers. (TEC, SSP, System power, System flow, system pressure, Air quality, Dew point, Pressure drop, Isentropic efficiency are some of the KPI`s we need to address.

Training
Raising customer awareness of the compressed air issues is essentially a pre-requisite for a fruitful dialogue and progress with customers. It is important that we facilitate the necessary training to senior management, compressed air responsible and to the staff and operators that in one way or another come into contact with compressed air.
