Sustainability and energy savings in air rinsing and drying operations
“Spending money like water” usually means wasting money. Not so long ago, many companies spent money like water on water, and on other seemingly abundant commodities, like compressed air. The days of burying these expenses in overhead costs have ended. From small family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 corporations, companies now strive to significantly reduce compressed air usage. Cutting down on compressed air usage cuts electricity costs and decreases capital costs for new compressors.
In the water shortage-plagued western U.S., an increasing number of industrial plants now implement water reduction programs. Even in other regions, industrial plant managers prioritize cutting the rising costs for water, water treatment and disposal.
