DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH COMPRESSED AIR LEAKS ARE COSTING YOU?

 
Compressed air isn’t FREE! It should be looked upon as a utility much like water, electricity and gas. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, compressed air is the most costly utility in your business today. It is estimated that average industrial customers waste 20% to 30% of their compressed air to leaks. Look at how much compressed air leaks may be costing you:

*Note: Annual Costs were calculated using 100 psig air, and average energy rate of $0.08/kWh, and assuming 6,000 annual operating hours and 4.0 cfm/bhp.
