Energy savings for your compressed air system
Compressed air is one of the most important utilities for industry, which makes it also one of the largest consumers of energy. Therefore, compressor energy savings have significant impact on overall business costs and on the environment.
The capital cost of buying a compressor is actually only a small part of the overall equation, and we want to ensure our customers obtain the lowest possible cost of ownership.
A system design specific for your requirements is key to reducing costs, managing your system’s energy efficiency for ISO 50001 and ensuring environmental responsibility for ISO 14001.

Energy audits can identify ways to save energy and reduce operating costs. If you think you might be spending more on energy on your compressor than you should, then it's time to consider a professional energy audit.
Variable Speed Compressors
|
Regulated-speed compressors feature inverter technology, ensuring that the compressors speed up and slow down as required to meet product demand. This outstanding piece of technology means that the compressor only consumes the energy that is required to avoid off-load running and reduce your energy bills.

Leak Detection
Did you know between 20-40% of your generated compressed air is being lost due to leaks? Therefore, you will be using more energy than required and increasing the running hours which means you’ll need a more frequent service.
Our technical team use ultrasonic leak detectors to pinpoint leaks in compressed air systems, even during noisy production periods.
The leak detector measures and photographs the specific location of a problem, and it signals in real time for immediate maintenance. Even the smallest of leaks can be identified!
At the end of the survey, a report is produced outlying the leaks and costs to repair with support offered from our technician.

Heat Recovery
Did you know over 90% of the electrical input to a compressor is lost as heat? It’s time to take advantage of this converted heat energy and save thousands of pounds every year!
The heat generated during compression is paid for as part of the process, then paid for again during removal by way of cooling fans. Instead of simply removing the heat, it can be used to generate hot water, heating systems and application processes in other areas of the installation.
This can be achieved by using:

This can be achieved by using:
- Heat exchangers – at initial installation or as a retro-fit
- Heat recovery ducting
