Sustainable Compressed Air,
Without the Waste
Reduce your carbon footprint & improve efficiency
with DIRECTAIR®

The DIRECTAIR® Difference

Compressed air is essential in manufacturing, but traditional systems waste up to 80%  of their energy as heat. That loss leads to higher emissions, excessive energy bills, and unnecessary maintenance. DIRECTAIR® eliminates that waste. By delivering compressed air as a utility, it removes the cost and complexity of owning and maintaining outdated systems, while improving performance across the board.

DIRECTAIR® is built for efficiency. Through proactive management and real-time monitoring, it reduces emissions, costs energy use, and extends equipment life. DIRECTAIR® turns compressed air from a hidden liability into a high-performing utility that support environmental goals, lowers operational costs, and drivers sustainability results.

DIRECTAIR® vs. Traditional Compressed Air Systems

 

 

DIRECTAIR®

  • Energy Efficiency: DIRECTAIR® is up to 50% more efficient than conventional compressor rooms, delivering the air you need with zero wasted energy.
  • Carbon Footprint: 3,699,801 metric tons of CO₂ saved with DIRECTAIR®, equivalent to removing 803,000 gas-powered cars from the road.
  • Maintenance & Waste Reduction: DIRECTAIR® uses Predictive maintenance & 24/7 monitoring to prevent failures before they occur, reducing downtime and waste.
  • Reliability & Uptime: DIRECTAIR® provides 99.9% uptime with remote monitoring and proactive maintenance.
  • Lifecycle Costs: Zero capital investment - pay only for the air you use, reducing financial strain and resource waste.
  • Equipment Longevity: No over-sized or overworked equipment, meaning DIRECTAIR® compressors operate at peak efficiency and last longer.
  • Energy Savings: DIRECTAIR® has saved 5,218,337,179 kWh since inception—equivalent to powering 490,000 homes for a year—reducing strain on power grids and saving customers over $418 million in energy costs.
  • Operational Footprint: Modular, compact units from DIRECTAIR® require no dedicated compressor room, reducing space requirements.
  • Regulatory Compliance: DIRECTAIR® helps meet corporate ESG goals and aligns with ISO 50001 (Energy Management).

Traditional Systems

  • Energy Efficiency: Wastes up to 50% of energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, due to leaks, artificial demand, and inefficient systems management.
  • Carbon Footprint: High emissions due to inefficient compressors, overuse, energy waste, and lack of system optimization, leading to unnecessary environmental impact.
  • Maintenance & Waste Reduction: Over 70% of manufacturers lack real-time monitoring for their compressed air, leading to energy waste and inefficiencies.
  • Reliability & Uptime: Typical compressor rooms have a failure rate of 25% per year, causing unexpected downtime. Frequent breakdowns and unplanned downtime reduce operational efficiency.
  • Lifecycle Costs: High capital costs for compressor room construction, plus ongoing maintenance and energy waste.
  • Equipment Longevity: Overworked compressors wear out faster, requiring costly replacements and increased energy consumption to compensate for declining efficiency.
  • Energy Savings: Consumes significantly more energy due to continuous operation, pressure fluctuations, and inefficiencies, leading to higher utility bills, increased operational costs, and greater environmental impact.
  • Operational Footprint: Requires a large compressor room, increasing construction, facility costs, and energy consumption for climate control and ventilation.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Harder to track sustainability metrics and maintain compliance with energy efficiency standards.
