Compressed Air Systems

To understand the opportunities that exist to reduce costs in your compressed air system, it is important to identify the electrical cost of compressed air over equipment life.

Depending on plant location and local power costs, the annual cost of electrical power can be up to two times greater than the initial cost of the air compressor. Over a 10-year operating period, a 100 hp compressed air system that you bought for $40,000 will accumulate up to $800,000 in electrical power costs.

The air compressor package has a very significant impact on overall energy costs, but there are other pieces of equipment in a compressed air system that must be taken into consideration as well. These also impact on power costs, both directly and indirectly, but the core of it all is the air compressor package. Energy wasted at the air compressor or within the system can never be recovered.

That’s why it is important to investigate energy efficiency when considering a new compressor or compressed air equipment. GR Energy Management Inc. will evaluate the true impact each element of the compressed air system has on the electrical consumption and determine the best way to reduce compressed air costs.
