ELGi has been focused on ensuring that its products are energy efficient and therefore have minimal impact on the environment, at no additional cost. With a first-of-its kind heat recovery system, ELGi is using 96% of the waste heat generated by air compressors to heat air (space) and water. This in turn eliminates the need for additional equipment to heat water and reduce CO2 emissions.

Apart from this, ELGi has been involved with several projects around the world to help conserve natural resources.

Cleaning Mirror Lake in the US

When the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control in the US wanted to clean the historic Mirror Lake in Dover, they partnered with ELGi air compressors.

ELGi’s Rotair D300K compressors were used to fire carbon pellets to the bottom of the lake to trap contaminants.

ELGi, a 1960 born organization promised to be research intensive, innovative and customer service centric. ROTAIR on the other hand was born right out of the ashes of the second world war in 1945. Starting with design and production of piston compressors in a small unit, ROTAIR soon graduated to small engines. It didn’t take too long for ROTAIR to start distributing all over Europe, especially France, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany.  Early 1970s saw the introduction of rotary vane air compressors with twin-cylinder VM engines. ROTAIR quickly expanded compressor capacities 25 cfm to 300 cfm. The 1970s brought new additions of screw compressors and opened up distribution vistas outside of Europe. The progress didn’t stop there. ROTAIR’s inventiveness saw capacity enhancement to the current 900 cfm. Additionally, ROTAIR is a regulatory compliant ISO 9001:2000 certified organization. The company controls design, production and testing via lean quality management procedures.
