The Challenge:
When our customer's main compressor unexpectedly failed, they faced a pressing need for a replacement before the year's end. They were also noticing moisture issues and having concerns whether their dryer was malfunctioning.

MCE’s Solution:
At MCE, we recognized the opportunity to not only address the immediate need for a new compressor but also to optimize the entire system for performance and efficiency. Our rotating equipment team engaged with the customer to thoroughly assess their air usage patterns.
After a careful analysis, we identified that while the customer's air demand had decreased compared to previous years, their existing back-up compressor was still not enough to sustain their current needs. Instead of quoting a replacement 50HP compressor, MCE offered a new solution with a 30HP compressor. This proved to be a more cost-effective solution, aligning perfectly with the customer's usage requirements while also becoming more energy efficient.
Additionally, we identified that the customer's aging air dryer, although operational, was nearing the end of its service life. The filters were also needing to be replaced, but they were obsolete. Rather than simply replacing the filters & housing, which would have been a short-term fix, we proposed a new air dryer. This air dryer is more energy efficient, has better air quality, is more cost effective, and is easier to maintain.
The Outcome:
Thanks to our swift action and comprehensive solution, the customer received their new compressor and dryer well before the year's end. Not only did this ensure uninterrupted operations, but it also exceeded their expectations in terms of cost savings and efficiency gains. As they gear up for a productive new year, they can rest assured knowing their compressed air system is optimized for peak performance.
