With over 10% of industrial electricity demand used for compressing air, even small inefficiencies add up quickly. Air leaks alone can account for 20–30% of a compressor’s output, driving up energy bills, creating pressure fluctuations, slowing production, and increasing noise levels for staff.
A CPA Compressed Air Audit goes beyond simply finding leaks. Our engineers assess your entire system, giving you a complete picture of where you’re losing air, energy, and money, and exactly what to do about it.
Compressed Air Audit
Non Intrusive Leak Detection
Our compressed air leak detection surveys use specialist ultrasonic detection equipment to identify leaks across your pipework, fittings, valves, and connections — all while your plant remains fully operational.
There’s no need to stop production, isolate equipment, or disrupt your team. Our engineers work around your operation, identifying every leak point and quantifying exactly how much air and money is being lost.
For a deeper analysis, a comprehensive compressed air audit can also assess your system as a whole — from generation and treatment through to storage, distribution, and point of use.
Compressed Air Audit
A Detailed Report with Clear Recommendations
Following your compressed air audit you’ll receive a comprehensive written report covering everything we found, including:
- A full breakdown of identified leaks and inefficiencies
- Estimated cost and energy savings
- Prioritised recommendations
- Overall system health assessment
This gives you everything you need to make informed decisions about your compressed air system.
