BENEFITS

Optimizing compressed air systems can reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs and enhance efficiency.

Because it can be one of the most expensive and inefficient forms of energy, compressed air systems are often called the “fourth utility” in industrial settings. That’s why optimizing compressed air systems to reduce waste can lead to major cost savings and performance gains.

Reduce energy use.

Compressed air systems account for a significant portion of your energy bill. Optimization can lead to measurable savings.

Lower carbon emissions.

Reducing energy consumption helps lower carbon emissions and can help your business achieve its energy goals.

Increase system reliability.

Efficient, well-maintained compressed air systems are less prone to breakdowns and may require fewer emergency repairs.

Improve ROI.

Investing in energy-saving compressed air systems boosts operational efficiency and improves equipment lifespan — helping improve ROI.

REQUIREMENTS

Fast Track compressed air incentive eligibility and requirements.

Here’s what you need to know about eligible projects and upgrade requirements.

No-loss condensate drains: $300/unit

Eligible for replacing timed or manually operated drains on compressed air systems rated at 50 HP or greater. Systems must exclude backup, redundant or out-of-service compressors.

Engineered air nozzles: $75/unit

Incentive applies to the replacement of standard air nozzles and open-air guns. Engineered nozzles must meet SCFM ratings at 80 psig based on diameter (e.g., 1/8″ ≤ 11 SCFM, 1/4″ ≤ 29 SCFM, 5/16″ ≤ 56 SCFM, 1/2″ ≤ 140 SCFM).

Low-pressure drop filters: $8/HP

Eligible for replacing standard coalescing filters with low-pressure drop models on active compressed air systems. Incentive is based on the system’s rated HP, excluding backup or inactive units.

Engineered air nozzles: $4/CFM

Applies to the replacement of non-cycled refrigerated dryers with cycling models. Desiccant, deliquescent, membrane or retrofitted dryers do not qualify. Units should be rated at <0.60 kW/100 CFM. Incentives scale by shift: $4/CFM for 1 shift, $8/CFM for 2 shifts and $12/CFM for 3 shifts.
