Independent Compressed Air Consulting

Compressed air waste hides in plain sight. I measure where it goes.

If your compressors run through the night, pressure sags at the far end of the plant, or the power bill keeps climbing, an assessment measures where the energy goes and ranks the practical fixes by payback. Metered kW, PSI and flow. No equipment to sell.

What happens after you ask

  1. You send a short request.

    Your name, work email, company, and a few lines about the system and the problem. Nothing else is needed to start.

  2. I reply directly.

    Expect a direct reply from Peak kW within one business day.

  3. We agree the scope in writing.

    We go through your equipment, shifts, pressure needs and electricity bills. You receive a proposal that sets the measurement boundary, deliverables, fee, site access and schedule before any work begins.

  4. I measure your system.

    My loggers record power, pressure and flow across a representative operating cycle agreed in the scope.

  5. You receive the findings and we review them together.

    A prioritized action list with estimated savings, the assumptions behind every figure, and a proposed way to verify the results.

Independent. By design.

Most "audits" are sales pitches for new compressors. As an independent specialist, I provide unbiased technical consulting focused solely on reducing your kW per SCFM. If you don't need new hardware, I'll tell you.

I'm Devon Wright, an independent compressed air specialist with 16+ years in these systems. I perform the assessment and write the findings. Read my field notes for the reasoning behind the recommendations.

Instruments on the system. Not estimates on a clipboard.

I meter the three signals that decide what your air really costs, then read the oscillation between them across a full duty cycle.

kWPower drawmeteredTrue electrical demand at the compressor, logged continuously.
PSIPressuremeteredWhere pressure is lost, banded, and over-supplied across the line.
CFMFlowmeteredReal demand over time, including the leaks running while you sleep.

Deep focus on the plants that run on air.

The same metered, vendor-neutral method, tuned to the duty cycle and air quality demands of your sector.

Metered precision. Real decisions.

I install and read my own power, pressure, and flow loggers across a representative operating cycle. This isn't a one-day snapshot; it's a measured record of your actual operational demand.

Example cost

Synthetic example, not a client result. The cost assumes (95 CFM × 0.155 kW/CFM + 14 kW of additional part-load power) × 730 hours/month × $0.11/kWh, rounded to $10. It excludes the model's 18 kW fixed baseline and demand charges. Off-shift flow can include intentional uses; achievable savings require a site assessment and verification.
