Compressed air is used in most industrial businesses, in fact >10% of power supplied to industry is used to compress air. Now consider that of the total energy supplied to a compressor as little as 8 – 10% of the energy may be converted into useful energy that can do work at the point of use.
Minimising waste can save approximately 30% of energy used. Opportunities for energy saving focus on improving intake air quality, generation and control, maintenance, monitoring, heat recovery, reducing leaks and staff training.
