Yes, our expert engineers are trained and experienced with all major makes and models of air compressors, but if you’re looking for something more specialist, speak to our team.
By finding, logging, quantifying and costing air leaks you can prioritise the remedial work required to reduce your energy costs.
The best, and most widely used approach is to use ultrasonic leak detection equipment. It operates without interrupting plant operation, reaches system areas that are hard to access, and locates all air leaks.
As part of our expert service we offer:
Site Visits
State-Of-The-Art Equipment
Trained engineers for a range of leak scenarios
Detailed Reporting to Understand The Problem
Competitive Repair Costs
Leak detection service
Our aim is to offer a solution that will reduce the cost of generating compressed air and therefore lead to a direct increase in your company’s profits.
As part of our thorough leak detection services, we take a considered approach to minimise disruption to your production:
We will arrange for an engineer to visit your site with our state-of-the art acoustic leak detection camera. Even though the air leakage detection must be done on a live system there will be no interruption to your production.
Every leak found will be tagged and logged by our engineer.
Afterwards, you will receive an itemised, written report which shows the results in a clearly understood and actionable format.
Once you have had time to read and digest the findings in the report, we will send a quotation to repair the air leaks.
What you can do to prevent leaks
Maintain a Leak Loss of >10% Per Annum
Annual Leak Maintenance
This proactive approach should enable you to keep tighter control of the system and potential energy wastage.
Why should I repair my leak?
All compressed air systems have leaks. These have several causes, including corrosion holes, poor pipe connections and bad seals.
According to the British Compressed Air Society, the average leakage rate is 25% but some plants lose as much as 80% of their compressed air due to leaks. Just imagine filling up your car and then watching a quarter of your fuel drip onto the road through a leaky fuel line as soon as you start driving!
Generating compressed air only to lose it to leaks is of course, a waste of money. The Carbon Trust estimates that a hole of just 3mm in diameter in a compressed air pipe can create a leak that costs up to £1,000 per year in wasted electricity costs.
So what’s the benefit for you?
The benefit of fixing leaks will be a lower energy cost, and it may also reduce the running hours of your compressors, which may in turn also reduce maintenance costs. It is unfortunately almost impossible to guarantee that all leaks can be repaired, and it is inevitable that over time, new leaks will occur.
