To get help, it really aids the process to state your problem clearly, with enough data to allow some willing soul to try to solve the problem. You did neither.

I require a constant flow of 12cu/mtrs of air per minute at 1.4bar & require help to calculate to power required to achieve this..

There may be an SI version or you will have to convert your numbers to imperial.
Do you mean 12 m^3/min at 1.4 bar?

12 M^3/min*(40/12)^3 *1.4*14.7*144/33000 HP=1.16HP
