How Breweries Can Protect Production From CO₂ Shortages with On‑Site Nitrogen Generation
In recent years, breweries have been facing the consequences of CO₂ shortages and its rising costs – and things aren’t about to improve anytime soon. In some cases, it has even forced microbreweries out of business due to the knock-on issues. Production schedules are becoming harder to manage, deliveries are less predictable, and costs are steadily climbing as supply tightens. Pair this with […]
Why Nitrogen Generation Is the Safeguard Businesses Need Against CO₂ Price Rises and Supply Shortages
It’s no secret that when conversations arise around carbon dioxide (CO₂), it’s usually about finding ways to cut emissions. But there’s another factor that’s becoming harder for businesses to ignore: supply. CO₂ is a major asset to everyday operations across industries like food production, healthcare, and manufacturing. And lately, that supply has started to diminish rapidly. Over the past few years, a series of disruptions has highlighted just how fragile the […]
Maintenance Tips for Compressed Air Treatment Systems
Compressed air treatment systems are used in a variety of heavy industries. This is especially true in manufacturing and food processing environments, where air should be 100% contaminant-free. Even if there’s no evident issue, scheduled maintenance should always be a top priority. Failure to maintain compressed air equipment could lead to contaminated products and costly downtime. What’s more, it could cause your compressor to work overtime and increase your energy bills. Here’s a brief compressor maintenance guide with a list of jobs […]
Guide to Choosing the Right Compressor System
Not all air compressors are built for the same purpose. While some can withstand 24/7 duty cycles, other compressors are only made for small, hobbyist tasks and to power small pneumatic tools. Air Supply Manchester designs entire compressor systems for industrial processes. We work with specialist BOGE compressors, but supply and service a whole range of other models. This guide will inform you about the different air […]
What Are Turbo Compressors & How Do They Work?
For industrial business owners, compressed air is an essential component of daily operations. However, traditional compressed air systems can be bulky, maintenance-heavy, and costly to run. If you are looking to optimise your facility’s efficiency and lower your overheads, you might be asking yourself: what is turbo compressor technology, and is it the right fit for my business? In this […]
Why Is Proper Filtration Critical for Industrial Compressed Air Systems?
Compressed air is critical in a wide variety of industrial processes, but it’s not deemed 100% pure for all applications. According to studies, each cubic foot of compressed air could contain up to 10 contaminants. With this in mind, proper filtration is critical. However, it’s not as simple as choosing any system on the market. Most compressed air systems will require certain types of air filters, and that’s where Air Supply Manchester can advise. What is an air filter system? An air […]
How do heat recovery systems in compressors work?
While industrial compressors are busy supplying compressed air to power tools, they also generate a significant amount of heat energy as a natural by-product. What many don’t realise is that up to 94% of that heat is typically lost into the atmosphere as the air compressor runs. And given that an air compressor generally uses approximately 10% of a company’s energy usage, it’s not something that should be overlooked in […]
Energy Efficiency & Heat Recovery in Compressed Air Systems
Compressed air is widely recognised as a clean and reliable energy source in the industry sector, and compressed air systems are growing in popularity by the day. In fact, they are currently estimated to account for over 10% of the UK’s total industrial energy consumption. However, for businesses that actively use compressed air, this figure […]
How Air Compressor Heat Recovery Can Reduce Energy Costs
Compressed air is a valuable source of energy for all types of industries. It’s used to power food and drink manufacturing lines, chemical processing, and a whole range of manufacturing and production, such as automotive and textiles. By being such an important provider of power to pneumatic applications, air compressors also require a significant amount […]
