Without Blowing Your Budget Your electric utility can cover up to 50% of the cost to upgrade your compressed air system. Let Kaeser help you upgrade your facility and improve your bottom line. To combat the effects of growing power needs and climate change, utilities are offering substantial incentives for energy-saving improvements to commercial and industrial facilities through their compressed air system improvement programs.
We have the product
Kaeser offers the full range of energy saving compressed air system components to help you qualify for utility incentive programs:
Compressors use as much as 10%
of all electricity generated in the United States. The Department of Energy estimates that as much as half is wasted, with more than 25% of all compressed air lost through leaks (some air audit professionals have found overall leak rates as high as 50%! ). An additional 15-25% is wasted through artificial demand and inappropriate uses. Power accounts for 70% of compressed air operating costs. When you consider that just one 100 hp compressor consumes up to $100,000 in electricity per year* it becomes clear how much you stand to gain by improving compressed air system efficiency. *Based on current commercial and industrial electric rates from the Energy Information Administration, US Dept. of Energy

We have the expertise
In some cases, incentive program sponsors require system audits to qualify. We can support this need with our Air Demand Analysis. ADA takes out the guess work and provides unbiased compressed air system data collection and meaningful analysis. In addition to providing the baseline analysis needed to qualify for utility rebates, our ADA has many benefits, including:
Daily Compressed Air Production 9/21 - 10/1
Sample graph from ADA report.
Identify inefficient system
controls Identify leak loss, artificial demand and poor uses Improve pressure and flow to production equipment Cut maintenance costs by optimizing compressor run time Reduce carbon footprint
Also, if you are considering
participation in an automatic Demand Response program, Kaesers Sigma Air Manager is uniquely suited to provide the best communications link to monitor and control the compressed air system.
