The problem…

Generally, around 10% of a companies electricity is used to run the air compressor(s).

Leakage ranges from 10% to 30% of the Compressed Air , with worst cases, up to ~50%.

Leak repairs are usually simple – jubilee pipe clips, loose joints, with hardware repairs being minimal.

Visible leaks

Ultrasonic detection…

Ultrasonic sound detection is needed, because on average only ~5% of leaks are loud enough to hear.

It follows that 95% of leaks are undetected, hence remain unrepaired

We also locate gas leaks such as Welding gas, Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, or Co2

Ultrasonic detection.

To Date… Since 2011, we have found nearly 1,000 leaks

in 75 companies. (running 109 compressors)

Total of £233,000 per year in estimated savings

Total Emissions saved =1,103 Tonnes CO2

equivalent to 1,103 hot air balloons.

Saving £23,500 per year for one large Company!

Survey & Report service:Our Charges are aligned to the survey area

Our Report, shows estimated Cost per Leak per Year, and the annual total – allowing prioritised repairs.

Our Leak Cost calculations use the leak Sound level (dB), Air pressure (psi or bar), Availability period (hours per year), and Cost per Kwh (typically 9-12p/Kwh).
