Stop compressed air leaks and save energy

An 1/8in air leak in a compressed air pipe at 100 lb/in2 can add around GBP 1,600 to a factory's annual energy bills, so the costs of identifying and rectifying leakages are easy to justify.

Compressed air leaks represent thousands of pounds in wasted energy every year - yet the cost to correct these leaks is typically fractional, said Monition, with repairs paying for themselves within weeks.

Using standards developed in line with Carbon Trust Guidelines, Monition's Airleak Surveys quickly identify leaks from all types of high pressure, compressed gas pipework and systems, without any disruption to production or process.

Monition's Airleak report details the precise location and severity of each leak, enabling the easy assessment and scheduling of repairs.

The amount of energy loss can also be quantified to clearly demonstrate the amount of energy saving that will be achieved by rectifying each problem.

An 1/8in air leak in a compressed air pipe at 100 lb/in2 can add around GBP 1,600 to a factory's annual energy bills, said Monition.

So, advises the company, the costs of identifying and rectifying leakages are easy to justify and can prove to be rapidly self-funding.

The systematic reduction of air leakages across a plant will reduce demands on services, reduce energy costs and maintain the operational performance of air controlled systems.

Monition said that its Airleak Surveys are the fastest, most inexpensive method available to identify and target energy losses - as proven for our clients in the pharmaceutical, food processing, brewing and printing industries.
