Compressed air is a key utility in the Textile industry, both the segments of Natural & Man-made textiles. Compressed air is more or less required at every stage of manufacturing particularly large volume of air is required for integrated cotton textile industries having Airjet Looms & as well in the Polyester yarn industries. Compressed air is a very critical requirement in the PFY valued added segment such as Texturing.

Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities, but more often than not, this fact is not understood. Unlike the other utilities, many users find it difficult to measure their cost per cfm. Primarily, it should be understood that the compressed air consumes 3 - 4 times more power as compared to electrical energy (say for e.g. a pneumatic tool of 1 hp would consume compressed air equivalent to 3 times more power than a 1 hp electric tool). However, compressed air being highly versatile in nature, it makes many industrial operations more effective in terms of high productivity and safety and hence, cannot be replaced
