Compressed air is probably the most expensive energy source on your site. Of the
total energy supplied to your air compressor, as little as 8% to 10% may be
converted into useful energy. The average leak rate in the UK is estimated to
be between 20% and 50%, which represents a major cost to businesses, as well as
unnecessary carbon emissions. Please see table 1 below for Annual costs of Air
Leaks.
