We’re pleased to announce that Direct Air will be exhibiting at Brownlow Utilities’ Futureproof Conference 2026 on Tuesday 22nd September at The Edge in Wigan.
Now in its third year, the conference brings together businesses, energy experts and industry leaders to discuss some of the key challenges and opportunities surrounding energy management, sustainability and Net Zero.
This year’s theme is Energy Resilience & Net Zero Delivery, with a focus on how businesses can build greater resilience while working towards their energy and sustainability goals.
For many industrial businesses, compressed air has an important part to play in that conversation. It is one of the most widely used utilities across manufacturing, but it can also represent a significant area of energy consumption.
At the event, the Direct Air team will be on hand to discuss practical ways businesses can better understand and reduce the energy used by their compressed air systems.
From compressed air audits and leak detection to flow monitoring and heat recovery, there are a number of opportunities to identify wasted energy and improve overall system performance.
For manufacturers and engineering businesses, managing energy use is becoming increasingly important, both for controlling operating costs and building more resilient operations.
The conference will explore areas such as energy resilience, understanding energy consumption, reducing carbon emissions and identifying practical opportunities to improve efficiency.
These conversations are particularly relevant when looking at energy-intensive utilities such as compressed air. Having better visibility of where and how energy is being used can help businesses identify unnecessary consumption, reduce waste and make more informed decisions about their equipment and wider site.
Alongside the conference sessions, there will also be opportunities to speak directly with energy and industry specialists, including the Direct Air team.
If you’re attending the Futureproof Conference, come and speak to our team about your compressed air system, the challenges you’re experiencing and where there may be opportunities to improve efficiency.
