Why compressed air remains a hidden cost centre

Air compressors are typically one of the least energy efficient systems on site, meaning most input electrical energy does not reach the point of use. This inefficiency makes compressed air a cost amplifier and a carbon amplifier across industrial operations.

Industrial Power Consumption

Published literature commonly reports that compressed air systems account for approximately 10% of industrial electricity consumption globally.

Fourth Utility Status

Compressed air is widely referred to as the fourth utility after electricity, water, and gas because it is ubiquitous across manufacturing and industrial operations.

Thermal Limitations

Heat buildup causes conventional compressors to overheat and shut down.

If your site is energy-constrained or working to decarbonise, compressed air is one of the highest-impact places to reduce electricity consumption.

HydroStroke advantages at a glance

Designed to improve the variables that dominate compressor value in the field: energy, uptime, and air quality.

Energy cost reduction

Uses 2-3 times less energy to deliver the same amount of compressed air compared with a conventional screw compressor.

Primary outcome

Oil-free by design

Reduces contamination risk pathways that drive filtration burden, quality risk, and maintenance overhead.

Low acoustic noise

Supports easier placement and a better working environment without building acoustic mitigation around the compressor.

24/7 Capability

Supports uninterrupted operation, without the heat buildup that causes conventional screw compressors to overheat and shut down.

Simple to manufacture

Designed to support practical industrial deployment.

Scalable architecture

Scalable across flow rate, pressure range, and air storage capacity.
