Do all of you use fans in your sulfur recovery processes?

Our factory is planning to use compressed air after reducing its pressure as a substitute for fans. Are there any manufacturers that do this? Will this work? If it succeeds, it can save a lot of battery power.
I think compressed air is more expensive than using a fan, as compressors consume more energy
What is the scale of your devices? What is the normal air volume usage?
Compressed air generally comes from the air separation unit in another section; to ensure the proper operation of this device, the air separation unit must be functioning properly, which helps to save on electricity costs and the need for fans and other equipment. However, by using fans to generate air manually, there is no dependence on other sections.
It comes from the air separation unit, and the volume of air used is quite large – over 10,000 cubic meters per hour. Moreover, the amount of air to be processed can vary from time to time, so adjustments to the operation require changes in the air flow rate; it’s necessary to get in touch in such situations. Compared to using fans installed on one’s own equipment, this approach is more stable, convenient, and offers greater flexibility for adjustment!
It’s better to use a fan; after all, the amount of air supplied by the air separation unit cannot be controlled stably.
I haven’t used it in that way before; it seems like the cost would be higher. The cost of fans isn’t high these days, so why not use fans?
This needs to be calculated based on the actual conditions of the equipment; the operating costs of compressors are higher than those of centrifugal fans； However, if there is a surplus when the compressor operates at low load, compressed air can also be used. This is to consider the operating costs.
