Ultrasonic Air Leak Detection

Compressed Air Savings – the “fourth” utility.

An estimated 90 billion kWh equaling 5 billion dollars per year is spent on making compressed air alone. That’s why we call it the “fourth” utility.

Did you know that most facilities with compressed air lose 20% ~ 30% through leaks and this costs $15k~$25k per year for every one hundred horsepower of capacity?  Most of the dollar loss is caused by small leaks which are hard to locate, but once identified are very easy and inexpensive to fix.

We can find the leaks for you using the latest ultrasonic sensing equipment.  We identify, measure and photograph every leak and provide you with the results in an extensive, actionable report.  Our program is non-invasive (we typically perform our surveys during production hours) and well-adapted to your management needs for data and easy implementation by your maintenance department.  We can offer a competitive repair service, if desired.

The electricity savings from eliminating air leaks is substantial.  The dollar savings typically cover the cost of the survey AND repair within months.  In some cases, entire compressors can be shut down.  The environmental impact is reduced as less electricity is consumed and the facilities internal environment is improved (less noise).  Equipment and processes that rely on compressed air will produce better product as the air supply is stabilized.

Ultrasonic Air Leaks Surveys are a low-cost service with a rapid Return-On-Investment, immediate environmental improvement and improvement in your overall facility’s efficiency.
