There are many opportunities within a compressed air system to generate large and sustainable energy savings starting with no and low cost methods.

BOGE Energy Saving Solutions can assist you in identifying and creating such savings.

REALISE YOUR ENERGY SAVINGS POTENTIAL Several studies have shown that on average the costs for generating compressed air are up to 30% higher than they should be. But, compressed air is actually one of the easiest technologies with which to realise quick and significant energy consumption reductions.

CREATE NO AND LOW COST ENERGY SAVINGS Methods of identifying compressed air misuse and wastage, such as leak detection, offer the greatest potential for creating no and low cost energy savings.

Moreover, they can turn around quick and significant initial energy savings within a typical system. Beyond that there are significant savings to be made by integrating low carbon technologies.

DISCOVER BOGE’S LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGIES The non-intrusive BOGE MCS Pro+ energy management system works in harmony with the actual compressor controllers within a compressed air system.

The MCS Pro+ ensures that only the most energy efficient supply of compressed air is used at all times. As a result system efficiency can be improved creating sustainable energy consumption reductions.

The BOGE SF frequency controlled screw compressor works strictly in accordance with the compressed air demand by producing the exact volume of compressed air at the pressure required. Correctly specified frequency controlled compressors should eliminate idling time and even out air demand fluctuations. Compressed air related energy costs can therefore be reduced considerably.

Modern synthetic lubricants can also save energy; BOGE Syprem 8000 S has proven to reduce the residual oil content in compressed air to less than 0.7 gm/m3, yielding up to 5% energy savings. Using an example of a 45 kW motor running around the clock this could translate into savings of £750 per year.

EXPLORE THE FUNDING ROUTES AVAILABLE Funding paths exist which assist businesses in financing new low carbon technologies. For example, The Carbon Trust’s unsecured, interest-free ‘Energy-Efficiency’ Loan from £5,000 up to £100,000 and aimed at SME’s within the UK who are making a commitment to save energy by an investment into energy efficient technologies*.
