According to Compressor Energy Services (CES), a compressed air consulting firm based in Merrimack, NH, accurately measuring compressed air flow is the first step in identifying and reducing nonproductive demand.

*”To begin fixing nonproductive demand, you first need to measure it. CES uses flow meters on every project because they provide a direct measurement of what the compressor is supplying. While the Department of Energy estimates that 50 percent of compressed air is used for nonproductive purposes, our project experience has shown that the figure is often closer to two-thirds of the compressed air being produced.”*

By focusing on measurement and data-driven analysis, CES helps industrial facilities uncover inefficiencies, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall system performance.
