Compressed Air Leaks Are Costing You 25 to 30% of Energy Spend. Here's How to Stop It.

You are bleeding money through your compressed air lines right now. Most plant managers do not know the exact figure, but the number is significant: between 25 and 30 percent of the energy your compressors consume escapes through leaks, deteriorated regulators, and inefficient demand cycles. For a mid-sized fabrication or assembly operation running 500 horsepower of installed compressor capacity, that translates to $40,000 to $60,000 per year in wasted electricity. A 1,000 horsepower system can hemorrhage $100,000 or more annually.
