COMPRESSED AIR AUDITS
Compressed Air Audit Services
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a manufacturing plant, and much of the cost is not always visible on the compressor panel. A compressed air audit helps identify where energy is being consumed and where compressed air is being lost across the system.
WiseAir’s compressed air audit services use temporary measurements of flow, pressure, power and dew point to understand how the system performs under actual operating conditions. We look at the compressor room, distribution network and major demand points rather than relying only on nameplate ratings or estimated demand.
The audit identifies practical issues such as compressed air leakage, excessive system pressure, pressure drops, artificial demand and inefficient compressor control. Each finding is quantified where the available measurements allow it, so your maintenance and engineering team can see which improvements are worth implementing first and what kind of return they can expect.
What a Compressed Air Energy Audit Covers
A compressed air energy audit looks at how efficiently your plant generates, distributes and uses compressed air. The audit is based on measurements taken during normal plant operation, giving your engineering team a clearer picture of actual energy consumption, air demand and system losses.
Flow, pressure, power and dew point measurements are used to establish the operating baseline. Depending on the plant, the audit can also identify compressed air leakage, pressure drops, artificial demand and inefficient compressor control that can increase energy consumption.
• Measurement-based insights — not assumptions
• Identification of hidden air and energy losses
• Clear improvement roadmap with ROI estimates
• Reduced energy costs and compressor operating hours
• Improved system reliability and air quality
• Support for ISO 50001 and best-practice guidelines
Our Audit Methodology
1. System Walkthrough and Mapping
Understand compressors, dryers, receivers, distribution network, and key demand points.
2. Temporary Measurements
Install instruments to capture real operating data for flow, pressure, power, and dew point.
3. Data Analytics and Loss Breakdown
Quantify leakage, artificial demand, pressure drops, and control losses. The measured data is compared with actual plant demand to identify avoidable losses and prioritise the improvements with the best energy and financial return.
4. Recommendations and ROI
Prioritized improvement actions with savings and payback timelines.
5. Verification and Follow-up
Post-implementation audits to confirm and sustain performance.
Typical Audit Objectives
The audit focuses on the specific issues affecting your compressed air system, from energy consumption and pressure stability to leakage and compressor operation.
• Reduce compressed air energy costs
• Fix pressure instability and poor control
• Reduce leakage and artificial demand
• Improve reliability and air quality
• Validate compressor sizing decisions
• Establish baseline for ISO 50001 compliance
Compressed Air Audit Cost & Payback
A large manufacturing plant engaged WiseAir to conduct a detailed compressed air audit.
Temporary flow, pressure, and power measurements during plant operation revealed high leakage levels, pressure instability, and inefficient control strategies.
Based on WiseAir’s recommendations, corrective actions were implemented, resulting in energy savings exceeding 30 percent and a payback period of less than 12 months.
