Compressed Air Energy Audit

Initially we would conduct a brief interview with you to determine what goals you would like to achieve by having the audit carried out as well as identifying key personnel and resources involved in the process.

This is likely the longest part of the process but the most critical to help achieve your desired goals. At this stage we would record details of equipment and survey the complete system including;

We will install a data logger in each compressor room. Every second this will measure your systems Power consumption, Pressure and estimated Flow, logging the results over the course of a week. We can also where required install / log the flow results from flow meters in order to measure actual flow vs. having this estimated.

Whilst the data logging is being carried out, we would recommend a complete ultrasonic leak detection for you. This will help to identify the majority of air leaks within your system to help fully assess areas of wasted energy costs. Why invest in oversized compressors / dryers when reducing your leakage rate could result in a requirement for smaller and cheaper to run equipment?

Once we have received the data from our loggers and leak detection, we will graph the results and spend time at our offices analysing the results. This analysis will be performed by an engineer who holds a diploma in Compressed Air Management dipCAM to ensure that you receive the best possible advice.

Following the analysis, we will produce a full report on your Compressed Air Systems operation and electrical energy efficiency. You will be provided with a grade depending on how close your system is to the most electrically efficient system you could be running. Depending on what goals you set at our initial meeting, we will issue you with an improvement plan and proposals to help reduce your annual electrical energy costs. Each proposal for improvement will come with an estimated annual electrical energy cost saving and thus return on investment calculation.
