You May Qualify for a Significant Energy Rebate Up to $10K
Think of air audits as just another cost to the business?
Wrong! The department of Energy states that a facility that has never had a Compressed Air study performed can commonly improve their electrical efficiency by an average of 40%
Every business has the opportunity to operate more efficiently and wasted air could be losing you thousands.
Learn where, why, and how you can mitigate inefficiencies in your air system with a in-depth air audit.

WHY INVEST IN A SUPPLY AND DEMAND AIR AUDIT?
1. Over-Pressurizing a Compressed Air System is Costly.
Operating your compressor at a higher pressure than your facility requires is costly. Each 2psi increase in pressure consumes an additional 1% in energy. A byproduct of this is also that any leaks you may have in your facility will leak at a higher cfm rate. A compressor produces less air at a higher pressure. You may be operating a higher Horsepower compressor than needed if operating at the minimum pressure your process requires. Investing in an air audit can tell you if can save on power and money by switching to a lower pressure.
2. Operating on a Larger Compressor than Needed Can Result in Extra Costs.
Are you using a larger compressor than you need? An air audit can tell you if you can save on maintenance costs by switching to a smaller compressor. Parts might not be as expensive for a 75 HP when compared to a 100 HP, and a smaller compressor may require less compressor oil.
3. Audits can show a Lack of Storage (Air Receivers) in a System.
Air receivers are important for several reasons, but they are especially important in regard to dampening pulsations in your air system caused by intermittent events requiring higher CFM than typically seen.
4. Audits can Identify Areas of Wasted Air.
A demand side audit evaluates your facility outside the compressor room, we evaluate your process by looking for improvements, perform ultrasonic leak detection and document areas of improvement that can be immediate. We have commonly seen facilities spending losing 20%-30% of their electrical efficiency due to leaks that can be easily repaired.
5. Helps You Identify Pipe Issues.
A properly performed Compressed Air study will uncover not only energy saving opportunities, but will also uncover distribution issues in your facilities piping that can not only pressure drops but quality in your process due to unstable pressure.
