Save Money - Reduce your 4th largest Energy Costs
On average, 20% - 40% of compressed air is wasted, Save Money - Reduce your 4th largest energy costs by conducting an energy saving survey
Some of our clients are now looking to reduce their energy costs, especially those related to the production and use of compressed air within the production environment. Our aim is to work closely with clients to provide them with an effective energy saving service and a bespoke program to ensure that the engineers become the cure rather than an additonal problem.
The Festo Energy Saving Survey is an excellent way of reducing your energy, maintenance, logistics & machine downtime costs.
The aim of these surveys is to increase productivity by reducing production costs. On average, 20% - 40% of compressed air is wasted.
The industry yardstick for this cost is 1.5p/m³.
What do these leakages cost?
Leakage Ø / mm Volume / m³ per year Cost per year
0.5 7,709 £115
1 38,500 £580
1.5 65,700 £980
2 136,600 £2,050
3 307,500 £4,600
4 546,600 £8,200

Electroquip Ltd and Festo would address the problem from both a reactive approach and a proactive approach.
Reactive Approach
Carry out a Festo Energy Saving Survey to find out what the specific issues are and to identify the root cause of these problems.
What is the current air use and leakage rate?
What applications are high users?
What safety concerns can be found?
What improvements can be made?
Proactive Approach
Increase the skill and knowledge levels of the engineers to stop these issues re-entering the production environment and make design improvements. Any future decision has to consider:
Tools
Attitude
Skill
Knowledge
