Compressed Air System Audit

Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in industrial operations, yet inefficiencies often go unnoticed. A Compressed Air System Audit is a detailed assessment designed to identify energy waste, reduce costs, and improve overall system performance.

Compress air production is highly energy-intensive, with only 10% to 30% of the energy consumed by compressors reaching the end-use, while the remaining 70% to 90% is lost—primarily as heat, along with losses due to friction, leaks, and inefficient practices.

A Compressor Audit provides businesses with valuable insights into energy consumption, system performance, equipment sizing, and air quality, enabling data-driven decision-making. By identifying energy wastage, air leaks, and inefficiencies, audits help companies achieve substantial cost savings and lower environmental impact. Additionally, they enhance equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

Beyond cost and efficiency benefits, compressor audits promote employee awareness and best practices for the optimal use of compressed air. Ultimately, these audits empower businesses to streamline their compressed air systems, enhance productivity, and strengthen their competitive edge—while reducing their carbon footprint.

Our Approach and Scope

Our process entails a comprehensive assessment of compressor operations, encompassing a detailed evaluation of load conditions, operating pressures, and sizing criteria. Additionally, we investigate opportunities for waste heat recovery and pinpoint any existing leaks. Using ultrasonic leak detector, we conduct a rigorous air leak audit, labelling all leaks exceeding 2 liters per minute (LPM). Any critical leaks, those exceeding 24 LPM, are marked with a red tag, and immediate communication is made with on-site personnel to address and prioritize their resolution.
