THE NEED FOR COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY EFFICIENCY SOLUTIONS

  • Compressed air is an integral part of most manufacturing processes
  • However, it is one of the most inefficient, expensive and misused utilities in manufacturing plants
  • Energy used for air compression may account for 10%-30% of the overall electricity bill of a typical plant
  • Industrial compressed-air, and the global ambition for carbon emissions reduction create a huge opportunity for Augwind
