The financial result of improved compressor performance 


A better compressor performance increases the profit on several points:

  • Less costs of energy and maintenance
  • An increased production and less lost production time
  • A longer life cycle of the compressor


Data

(The data are delivered by a major compressor user for a 20 MW Compressor)

Life cycle of the compressor                            30 years

Initial cost of the compressor            15,000,000 USD
Maintenance cost per year                       150,000 USD
Energy cost per year                              6,000,000 USD
Sales per year                                     800,000,000 USD


Example of increased profit

 2,4% less energy cost                              144,000 USD
0,7% more sales                                           56,000 USD
8,4% less maintenance most                     12,670 USD
6 months longer life cycle*)                         17,950 USD
2 hours per year less lost production**)   44,440 USD

Total increased profit per year                275,060 USD


*)    Interest (4%) and depreciation (3,3%) is 547,500 for six months, to be divided over 30,5 years
**)  3.600 hours per year production time, at a profit margin of 10%
