Why is it necessary to arrest Compressed Air Leakage ?
Arresting compressed air leakage is crucial for several reasons:
- 1.*Energy Savings*: Compressed air is a costly utility, and leaks can waste a significant amount of energy. Fixing leaks can save up to 30% of compressed air energy costs.
- 2. *Reduced Wear and Tear*: Leaks can cause equipment to work harder, leading to increased wear and tear, and shorter lifespans.
- 3.*Improved System Reliability*: Leaks can cause pressure drops, affecting production processes and leading to downtime.
- 4. *Increased Safety*: Leaks can create hazardous conditions, such as slippery floors and reduced air quality.
- 5. *Environmental Benefits*: Reducing energy consumption decreases greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint.

By fixing compressed air leaks, you can:
- - Save energy and reduce costs
- - Extend equipment lifespan
- - Improve system reliability and performance
- - Enhance safety
- - Contribute to a more sustainable environment
What is Compressed Air Leak Scan / Audit?
A compressed air leak scan, also known as a leak audit or survey, is a systematic process to detect and identify leaks in a compressed air system. The goal is to locate and quantify leaks to:
