Oilfree compressed air in Burgers’Zoo
Since July 2017 the Royal Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands, has the largest indoor Mangrove in the world. In this Mangrove several animals live in and around the water. To keep the water in optimal quality, compressed air plays a key role. ALUP ensures that the 100% oil-free compressed air is always available. Not only did ALUP Kompressors deliver two oil-free compressors, but they will also carry out maintenance so that they are always in perfect condition.
Did you know you can use your air compressor to heat your office?
When air is compressed, heat is formed in the compressor. Instead of being wasted, the excess heat can be captured with an energy recovery option and channeled to other applications like your office heating allowing you to save energy and cut costs.

What are signs of a compressed air leakage?
Poorly closing couplings, old hoses, or worn and leaking seals are all areas where compressed air can be escaping your compressed air systems. Even a minimal leakage however can be responsible for excessive costs. A leak of only 3mm at a pressure of 7 bar can cost you up to €1300 (£1150 / $1500) per year. And with higher pressure, the loss of compressed air is even higher.
Why does a frequency controller save energy?
A variable speed of variable frequency compressor matched air supply with demand. Therefore, the variable speed technology reduces energy consumption compared to a fixed speed equivalent.
