Pressure has a price tag
Higher-than-needed pressure can increase compressor energy use and feed unregulated demand, including leaks.
ACCOUNT RESEARCH FOR INDUSTRIAL COMPRESSED-AIR SYSTEMS SELLERS
Stop paying compressor prices for air nobody needs
For industrial compressed-air solution sellers: identify buyers whose electricity case can be tested against pressure, demand, leakage and production—not a back-of-envelope promise.

THE PAIN / NOT ANOTHER GENERIC LIST
The compressor bill hides what the air is doing
Before selling time becomes sunk time, test the obstacles.
Leaks disappear into the baseline
Air loss can run alongside legitimate demand, making the opportunity hard to size without system measurements.
Production moves the goalposts
A before-and-after kWh comparison can mislead when production, operating hours or air demand changed.
WHAT ALMA HUNTER DELIVERS
Make the savings case earn its numbers
- 01
Measure the whole system
Compare metered power, pressure and flow across representative operating states, not just compressor nameplates.
- 02
Separate waste from work
Relate demand and leak observations to operating schedules and production needs before estimating avoidable electricity.
- 03
Show a defensible delta
Build a transparent, production-aware estimate with assumptions that plant and finance teams can challenge.

Positive year-one model. Validate every assumption.
Illustrative, editable assumptions—not validated results, guarantees or Alma service pricing.
Make the value real.
Illustrative fictional USD inputs only, not a market benchmark or forecast. Volume is modeled annual avoided electricity; the realization share is an assumed share of that modeled quantity, not the probability a project succeeds. Use site-specific measurements, tariff and scope. Count upfront and annual ongoing costs once in year-one cost; benefits may differ with actual production, pressure, controls, leakage and operating hours.
See formulas, evidence needed and research context
Gross benefit = potential units × economic unit value × realized share.
Full year-one cost = full upfront deployment + annual operating cost. Net = benefit − full cost. Year-one ROI = net ÷ full cost × 100. Each cost is subtracted once.
Simple upfront payback = upfront cost ÷ (annual benefit − annual operating cost) × 12 months, only if annual net benefit is positive. It assumes steady annual realization, not a discounted cash-flow forecast. Year-one break-even units = full year-one cost ÷ realized unit value.
Establish a baseline from measured power, pressure and flow over representative operating conditions; collect time-series demand data and document production needs and load duty cycles. Compare like-for-like periods and adjust for production, operating hours and material system changes. The DOE sourcebook notes that single-point measurements do not show the complete picture and that logged pressure and flow can reveal process changes or leaks.
These sources explain the economic mechanism and measurement—not Alma Hunter performance:
- Improving Compressed Air System Performance: A Sourcebook for Industry (U.S. Department of Energy) — Systems approach includes baselining inefficiencies, determining production needs, gathering operating data and developing load duty cycles. The sourcebook describes pressure and flow logging, measurement limits of single-point readings, and pressure, demand and leak-related energy effects.
- Compressed Air — Better Buildings & Better Plants, U.S. Department of Energy — DOE identifies reducing inappropriate use, lowering system pressure, improving storage and controls, reducing leaks, and upgrading equipment and maintenance as key measures; it recommends a systematic approach to demand-side usage and supply-side technology and controls.
