COMPRESSED AIR LEAK DETECTION SURVEY
Compressed air is probably the most expensive ‘energy’ source on your
site. Of the total energy supplied to a
compressor, as little as 8-10 per cent may be converted into useful energy at
the point of use. To minimise inefficiencies, it is recommended to check for
leaks regularly and repair them.
The average leak rate in the UK is estimated to be between 20% and 50%. This represents a significant
cost to you company as well unnecessary carbon emissions.
The benefits of fixing leaks are obvious, not only in
cost savings but also in helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
Ultra-sonic leak detection
This can be undertaken at any time as it does not need
the production process to be stopped. The main advantage of this method is that
it is possible to quantify each leak and decide upon the priority of the repair
as the scales on the instrument allow the size of the leak to be determined and
hence its costs can be calculated.
The service which we offer
will be carried out with no disruption to production.
We will compile a full
report detailing;
- identification
of all leaks
- remedial
actions required
- individual and
total potential savings
- energy saving
