Save Energy in Compressed Air Systems with Sarlin Balance Pro

Take the energy efficiency of your compressed air system to a new level and achieve energy savings of 10–30%.

Lead with data, save on costs, and strengthen your company’s sustainability efforts by choosing Sarlin Balance Pro.

Without monitoring and control, a compressed air system can easily waste energy, especially when it consists of multiple devices. Thanks to centralised control, energy savings are continuous—and almost inevitable.

Compressed air has great energy efficiency potential

Compressed air is an essential resource in industrial processes, operating quietly in the background—making its true energy consumption easily overlooked.

However, compressed air is one of the most expensive industrial utilities, accounting for a significant portion of total energy consumption, typically 8–10%.

Sarlin Balance Pro is the only system in the world that connects all devices involved in compressed air production into a single view and control system. This allows for continuous energy savings.

What would 10–30% savings on compressed air mean for your company's costs?

Balance Pro eliminates unnecessary energy consumption while improving the reliability, efficiency, and economy of your compressed air system.

Centralised control takes the energy efficiency of compressed air usage to the next level. It enables you to:

Control the energy consumption of the entire compressed air system, including both compressors and air dryers, from one view.
Ensure consistent pressure levels and optimal dew points, even as compressed air demand changes.
Prevent costly air leaks, as the system quickly detects any abnormalities.
Receive real-time data on energy consumption.

The system pays for itself in an average of 1–2 years through energy savings and improved operational reliability.

The energy efficiency of a compressed air system is the sum of its parts

The new system’s centralised control ensures energy-efficient and stable operation, regardless of how actively it is operated. It works exceptionally well in facilities with multiple compressors and air dryers.

The system addresses typical energy-wasting problems, such as:

Unnecessarily high pressure levels. Excessive pressure levels can result in 15-30% higher energy consumption. When compressor power demand increases, productivity decreases and maintenance costs rise.

This is why even a small pressure reduction, such as 0.3 bar, can quickly result in 10% savings, which can mean significant savings in large production plants.
Equipment and machinery running at overcapacity. Centralised control automatically shuts down machines running unnecessarily, reducing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of the equipment.
The system never compromises reliability but controls overcapacity.

Undetected compressed air leaks. Air leaks can go unnoticed for a long time. The system’s real-time monitoring indicates unexpected consumption spikes, allowing leaks to be detected and repaired quickly.

Lead with accurate data – reporting verifies the effects of centralised control

With the new system, you can manage energy efficiency measures using comprehensive data that enables effective monitoring and reporting.

The benefits of generating reports include:

Improved energy efficiency: Monitoring helps identify and eliminate energy consumption bottlenecks.

Reliability and transparency: Audited and standard-compliant reports meet stakeholder requirements, enhancing your company’s sustainability reporting.

Cost savings: More efficient energy usage reduces production costs and improves your company’s competitiveness.

Ease of use: A modern interface and visualisation tools make data analysis and reporting effortless and quick.

Achieving environmental goals: Predictive features support the setting and tracking of environmental goals, helping your company operate responsibly and sustainably.

Increase energy efficiency and achieve your company’s sustainability goals

An energy-efficient and well-managed compressed air system helps achieve your environmental targets and reduce your carbon footprint.

The new system’s continuous energy efficiency improvements allow for more reliable environmental impact reporting, further strengthening stakeholder trust in your operations and brand.

Moreover, an energy-efficient compressed air system helps forecast costs and identify necessary investments to improve environmental efficiency. This makes setting and achieving environmental goals more consistent.

In Finland, Sarlin Balance saves 46 GWh annually. The CO2 reduction is 8,800 tonnes, equivalent to the consumption of approximately 2,500 electrically heated detached houses.

Energy efficiency also benefits production and maintenance

Improving energy efficiency brings clear benefits not only to the environment but also to production and maintenance.

When the system operates efficiently, energy consumption and emissions decrease, leading to cost savings and reduced maintenance needs. This not only cuts repair costs but also frees up maintenance staff to focus on preventive maintenance and other critical areas.

Efficient energy management also enhances production flow and employee performance, since better system reliability reduces downtime and disruptions.
