Our maintenance budget is very limited. Does improving our CA system require big investment?

Some of the most effective improvements to a typical CA system require no or very little investment. Measures such as (partially) shutting down the installation according to production schedule to avoid standby leakage can often be implemented easily and lead to significant savings. And even steps such as renewing compressors often pays off within months when considering energy cost which usually represents up to 80% of total cost of ownership.
