Compressed air and the site's ancillary loads rarely dominate a brewery's energy bill the way the boiler or the glycol plant do โ€” but they're everywhere, they're easy to leave running, and the compressed air course elsewhere on this platform already covers the physics in full. This lesson is about where a brewery specifically uses air and ancillary power, not how compressors work.
