Stop Leaking Profits
Compressed air is often called the "fourth utility," but it is also one of the most expensive. Leaks can account for 20-30% of total compressed air output, forcing your compressors to work harder and wasting significant electricity.
Our specialized Ultrasonic Leak Detection Service identifies leaks that are inaudible to the human ear, even in noisy plant environments, providing you with a clear roadmap to savings.
Our Testing Process
Detection
Scanning of all pneumatic lines, valves, fittings, and FRL units using advanced ultrasonic guns to pinpoint leaks.
Read MoreTagging
Physical tagging of every leak source with a unique ID number and severity rating (Low, Medium, High) for easy maintenance.
Read MoreQuantification
Calculation of air loss (CFM) and financial impact (INR/Year) for each leak to prioritize repairs.
Read MoreVerification
Post-repair scanning to ensure leaks are effectively sealed and the system pressure has stabilized.
Read MoreThe Cost of Leaks
Small leaks add up to huge losses. Here is an estimated annual cost of leaks at 7 bar pressure (assuming ₹8/kWh):
| Leak Diameter | Air Loss (CFM) | Approx. Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1/32" (0.8 mm) | 1.6 CFM | ₹ 8,000 |
| 1/16" (1.6 mm) | 6.5 CFM | ₹ 32,000 |
| 1/8" (3.2 mm) | 26.0 CFM | ₹ 1,30,000 |
| 1/4" (6.4 mm) | 104.0 CFM | ₹ 5,20,000 |
*Values vary based on compressor efficiency and operating hours (~8000 hrs/year).
