I don't know these guys from Adam, but when I came across their information on the web, I knew I had to bring it to you.
The technology is claimed to exist for folks blow molding PET containers that can recycle about 50% of the high pressure compressed air used in the manufacturing process. Man, that's enormous savings if it's actually the case.
And, it seems that they can recover compressed air that's "slightly used" from other applications as well.
When air exits from the exhaust from an air valve it's exhausting under pressure and escaping back to atmosphere. If you could capture that air as it escapes, much of the energy that you used to compress it in the first place could be saved and reused. Awesome.
I read about it first in this Plant Service article, located here.
Then I went to the manufacturer's web site. Before you click, this link takes you to their site in Geneva, and the site is in French. Here's that link.
If you Google "Technoplan Engineering SA of Geneva" you can get to their site from the Google page, and Google will translate for you.
In the U.S., there is a licensed distributor for this technology, and there are systems installed now.
Here's the link for the North American licensee.
We all have a vested interest in reducing energy consumption and energy waste. If you're in a position to do something about that in your plant, I hope you'll take a look at this information.
