Compressed Air is Expensive

Compressed Air Costs Based on electrical utility rates @ $0.67 /kWh A 100 scfm application costs $1.83 per hour to support $16,000 per year at 8760 hrs. $0.30 per 1000 scf Approximately 30 hp

Compressed Air Costs - Compressor 50 hp operating = $27,000 100 hp operating = $54,000 200 hp operating = $110,000 500 hp operating = $275,000 1000 hp operating = $545,000
