Overview

Compressed Air Systems (CAS) are heavily exploited in industrial automation systems, due to various advantages of pneumatic actuator uses. That said, industrial CAS have a low energy efficiency of around 10-20%. This project aims to develop, produce, test and commercialise a smart system which improves the sustainability of Compressed Air systems and hence the competitiveness of manufacturing firms. This project is funded by the Technology Development Programme (TDP) of the Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST).
