Why is sustainability important for compressing air?
Thursday, 15 February 2024
For all of its benefits, compressing air has one major drawback: It uses a lot of energy. In fact, it is estimated that 10% of the world’s energy is used for compressing air. That not only illustrates how vital compressed air is but also how important sustainability and efficiency are in this area.
Fortunately, air compressors have come a long way. While the fixed-speed models of the past used tremendous amounts of energy, modern compressors with variable speed drives can cut that consumption in half (or even more!)
Does switching to a greener, more sustainable production always require major investment?
No! Investments in green technology are just one component of a successful sustainability strategy. There are plenty of other things you can do to reduce your energy consumption.
Did you know that, on average, 20% of all compressed air is wasted because it escapes through leaks in the air system?
Identifying and plugging these leaks is not expensive. In fact, a leak detection test is guaranteed to save you money.
