Leak detection ensures precise air utilisation and high-efficiency motors boost overall performance. Advanced filtration and AR Premium dryer features further elevate reliability and sustainability. ELGi's commitment aligns with global goals, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact in air compression.

Environmentally Friendly Solutions

2-stage air compressors represent a leap in energy efficiency. Their design ensures optimised efficiency and improved performance. The AB Series, an oil-free screw air compressor, not only reduces emissions for environmental compliance but also ensures a low total cost of ownership. Efficient, reliable, and eco-friendly – the next step in compressed air solutions.

Our oil-water separator efficiently manages oil emissions, meeting environmental regulations and minimising their impact, ensuring sustainable industrial operation.

Sustainable Manufacturing Practices

ELGi, a leader in air compressors, prioritises sustainable manufacturing. Through energy-efficient production, eco-friendly materials, and robust recycling, ELGi minimises its carbon footprint. Green supply chain practices ensure environmental responsibility from start to finish. Emission reduction initiatives, including renewable energy adoption, underscore a commitment to eco-friendliness. Continuous improvement and certifications demonstrate ELGi's high environmental standards, setting an industry benchmark for sustainable air compressor evolution.

Tips to Make Current Air Compressors Environmentally Friendly

For companies already utilising electric air compressors, improving their environmental friendliness is achievable with strategic approaches. Here are few tips:

Keep up With Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for all types of air compressors to ensure optimal efficiency. Based on usage, maintenance intervals can be every quarter, half-yearly, or annually. Timely checks and inspections, both by in-house staff and trained professionals, help identify and address issues promptly, minimising resource consumption and maximising efficiency.

Use Higher Quality Lubricants and Fluids

Addressing leaks and containing fluids from air compressors is essential to prevent contamination of groundwater and nearby waterways. Switching to higher quality, eco-friendly lubricants, like ELGi Airlube, together with an oil-water separator, not only minimises environmental impact but also enhances the overall efficiency of the air compressor system.
