Compressed Air
In the U.S., compressed air systems account for $1.5 billion per year in energy costs, and 0.5 percent of emissions. Many industries use compressed air systems as power sources for tools and equipment used for pressurizing, atomizing, agitating, and mixing applications. Optimization of compressed air systems can provide energy efficiency improvements of 20 to 50 percent. (Download Adobe Reader)
