COMPRESSED AIR, VACUUM, AND GENERATORS 40 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS June 2025 www.hpmag.co.uk Supporting the assessment specialists in conducting measurements is crucial. This involves ensuring that measurements are made when the compressor is operating under typical—and in some cases problematic or challenging— conditions. Additionally, technical staff should be available to assist with the measurement process and address any immediate queries the assessment specialists may have. Post assessment After the assessment, reviewing and discussing the report with the experts is crucial. This discussion helps clarify findings, ensures that all recommendations are understood, and provides an opportunity to ask questions about the proposed solutions. Implementing the recommended actions promptly is also a key part in addressing any identified issues and improving compressor performance. As such, the customer should develop an action plan that prioritizes tasks based on urgency and impact. It’s also vital that they monitor the effect of these changes to ensure that the desired improvements are achieved. This involves tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) and conducting follow-up assessments as needed. It’s also important to maintain open lines of communication with the compressor assessment specialists for further support; to ensure that any additional issues are addressed swiftly; and that the improvements are sustained over time. The value of comprehensive assessments A thorough and methodical compressor assessment process is vital for ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Precise measurements, technical collaboration, and detailed documentation review form the foundation of this approach, allowing for data-driven insights and effective solutions. Partnering with an engineering expert like Burckhardt Compression provides long-term benefits for businesses relying on compressor performance. The company’s BC ACTIVATE program, for example, offers a structured assessment for any reciprocating compressor, using advanced measurement techniques and data analysis to identify potential issues, enhancing efficiency, reliability and sustainability. OEM expertise and decades of service experience have been combined to deliver a comprehensive assessment process that reveals bad actors for compressor reliability, excessive energy consumption and gas emissions. Examining existing data, completing a thorough inspection and collecting additional process data allows the full picture of an installation to be established. The BC ACTIVATE program identifies issues and presents a structured solution tailored to a customer’s application—not necessarily built around Burckhardt Compression’s own products. Solutions can range from sealing material upgrades to adjustments in alignment and geometry, as well as major upgrades including new cylinders and auxiliary systems. These solutions, whether they’re direct upgrades or simple changes to maintenance plans can drive improved performance, increased reliability and sustainability, and –ultimately – more profitable operations.
