However, this practice is energy-intensive and does not work if the filters are clogged. Instead of ordering filter unclogging, it would be better to install pressure sensors upstream and downstream of the filters. The operation entails controlling filter unclogging by differential pressure sensor (pressure difference upstream and downstream of each filter), i.e. only when the filter bags are saturated with sawdust and when unclogging is really necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of this technology, which has been on the market for over 5 years, can save businesses up to 5% in electricity costs and reduce their carbon footprint. This measure is quite simple to implement, can show a rapid return on investment, and does not require a production shutdown during installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"type-numerotation\"><span class=\"type-numerotation-span visually-hidden\"><\/span>Energy and environmental impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The unclogging timer is set so that the filter operates at maximum capacity. Considering that not all production machines are always running at maximum capacity, timed unclogging overestimates the unclogging requirement compared with reality. Unclogging a filter using a differential pressure sensor will significantly reduce compressed air consumption as it measures the condition of the filter by pressure difference. The production of compressed air has a relatively low efficiency of around 15 to 20%. The decrease in compressed air consumption is estimated at 70%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the filter bags need to be unclogged much less frequently, and since the mechanical force of the compressed air is no longer applied to an unloaded filter bag, the service life of the bags is considerably increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"type-numerotation\"><span class=\"type-numerotation-span visually-hidden\"><\/span>Subsidy application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">State subsidy application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-green-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Please note: any application for government or non-government subsidies must comply with the &#8220;incentive effect&#8221;, subject to compliance with the subsidy conditions.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><br>To ensure that the incentive effect of the aid is respected, no binding commitments may be made (acceptance of a quote; advance)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/guichet.public.lu\/en\/entreprises\/financement-aides\/regime-sme-packages\/soutien-pme\/sme-packages-sustainability.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/guichet.public.lu\/fr\/entreprises\/financement-aides\/regime-sme-packages\/soutien-pme\/sme-packages-sustainability.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SME Packages &#8211; Sustainability<\/a><\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Financial Aid for small and medium-sized enterprises covering up to 70% of eligible costs for the implementation of a project aimed at reducing the environmental impact.
