What is the most expensive cost of generating compressed air?
Few companies are aware that the largest cost element of generating compressed air over time (by far) is electrical energy. The US DOE calculates that over a ten year period, even at the relatively low fixed energy cost per year of $.05 per kWh (shown in the diagram below), electrical energy will cost the average industrial company 76% of their total compressed air system costs (including all capital expenditures). In other areas with higher electrical energy costs, this can approach 90% of total compressed air system costs! Pneu-Logic technology saves customers between 10% and 30% of their total industrial compressed air electrical energy and costs.
