DirectAIR®: Compressed Air As A Utility Service

Selecting DirectAIR® not only frees up capital for a more profitable investment elsewhere in your business, it enables your people to focus on your business instead of compressed air. 


What is DirectAIR®?

DirectAIR® is buying compressed air as a worry free utility. With DirectAIR®, Air Technologies® installs a complete state-of-the-art compressed air facility in our own building at your site. We will own, operate and maintain this facility for an agreed time period and supply a steady stream of high quality compressed air, guaranteed!

We can even buy back existing industrial compressed air equipment so that you can recover the plant space for more productive uses. Eliminate the time you and your personnel spend on compressed air issues so you can focus on what you do best— your product.

What do we need?

A customer that requires compressed air provides the necessary land and utility hook ups. DirectAIR® supplies, installs, operates, and maintains a new air compressor system.

DirectAIR® vs. leasing

DirectAIR® includes all system components and design from the building to the discharge pipe. All compressors, cooling systems, controls, monitors, motors, starters, filters, dryers, interconnecting piping, auto drains, fans, buildings, lighting, etc… are included in our scope. If one of these components affects another component, it is our responsibility. What happens in a lease scenario when your cooling system causes a problem with a leased compressor or dryer? Who is responsible for that? With DirectAIR®, all costs are included.

Testimonials

flowserve compressed air as a utility"We have consistently had clean, dry air since DirectAIR® was installed. We have no fear of lines freezing up in the winter or having to drain gallons of water from the air lines in the summer like before. I am certain that our production machinery and tool reliability has significantly increased. With DirectAIR®, I can safely say that we no longer worry about our plant air. Thanks again for the great service and what I expect to be a great partnership between our two companies."
