Compressed Air Leak Management

The air is free, but if you have to compress it, this will require a lot of energy. The compressed air is actually one of the most expensive utility in many industrial plants. Thus, any loss of compressed air is a considerable waste of economic resources, which often managers can not see because this waste is hidden in the balance sheet item "energy costs".

In systems where searching and repairing aren’t done a at least once a year, the losses recorded by the Airborne Ultrasound, according to a very conservative estimation, are around 20% of compressed air produced. This means that a company with five compressors uses one compressor to compensate the leaks. Companies recognize the existence of losses only during scheduled stops, when the compressors continue to produce air to maintain a minimum operating pressure. Not all companies have scheduled stops at the weekend because they work on three shifts all year. Today, in Italy, there are companies that lose compressed air for millions of euros per year.
