Air & Nitrogen Leak Surveys = the fastest and easiest cost savings project that you will ever do! Past clients have been able to shut down as many as three 3,000 CFM Air Compressors after making repairs based on our inspection and report.
Leaks can be a significant source of wasted energy in an industrial compressed air system, sometimes wasting 23-30% of a compressor’s output. A typical plant that has not been well maintained will likely have a leak rate equal to 30% of total compressed air production capacity. On the other hand, proactive leak detection and repair can reduce leaks to less than 5% of compressors output.
In addition to being a source of wasted energy, leaks can also contribute to other operating losses. Leaks cause a drop in system pressure, which can make air tolls function less efficiently, adversely effecting production. In addition, by forcing the equipment to cycle more frequently, leaks shorten the life of almost all system equipment (including the compressor package itself). Increased running time can also lead to additional maintenance requirements and increased unscheduled down time. Finally, leaks can lead to adding unnecessary compressor capacity.
Take action now and stop venting your profits into the air. Contact the nation’s leading leak detection specialist and start saving your previous resources.
