Energy company chooses Cambs Compressors for new installation

Two new compressors and pipework installed to help them expand eco-friendly energy supply.

Compressed air in energy production

Pretoria Energy Company own and operate anaerobic digestion facilities, and they lead the way in sustainable renewable energy solutions. Located on their Cambridgeshire farm, they cultivate and harvest energy crops that are then utilised in anaerobic digesters. This transformative process generates both gas and electricity, effectively powering the national grid with clean, sustainable energy. To further minimise their environmental impact, they capitalise on the by-products of this process. On site they convert these by-products into Natura Grow Pellets and Liquid Fertilisers, effectively closing the sustainability loop while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint. It's this process that required an upscaling of its compressed air requirements and a redesign to facilitate the growth ambitions of the business.

Cambs Compressors have a great reputation, and the support is second to none

"I've worked with Cambs Compressors for many years, and I have come to trust their recommendations, as they have never let me down. The company’s growth and ambition to expand further meant that the existing compressed air infrastructure needed a complete rethink. It was also of an age where the energy efficiency conflicted with our mission to minimise our environmental impact. Working with Mathew Mandipira, Cambs Compressors Sales Apprentice, and under the engineering guidance of Mark Fryer, they proposed the new solution. The installation was delivered on schedule, on budget and without any issues. In my role as Engineering Facilitator at Pretoria Energy, I have no reservations in recommending Cambs Compressors as they have proven to be very reliable, professional and responsive."
