Compressed Air Leak Detection Service

Compressed Air Leak Detection Service

Introduction:

A Hidden Problem in Your Plant

If you manage an industrial plant or any facility that relies on compressed air, you're probably facing a problem that silently drains your budget — compressed air leaks.

You may not see them, hear them, or even think they’re serious. But these tiny leaks add up to huge energy losses. A small hole the size of a pin can cost you thousands of rupees per year in electricity costs.

We’re explains how Aadiushmaa Engineers Pvt. Ltd. can help you detect, analyze, and fix these air leaks without shutting down your plant — saving you money, improving efficiency, and increasing the lifespan of your equipment.

Air leakage testing?

Compressed air is often called the “fourth utility” in industrial settings, after electricity, water, and gas. But unlike the other three, compressed air is extremely expensive to produce.

On average, 25% to 30% of the compressed air generated is lost through leaks in a typical plant. That’s like buying electricity and letting a quarter of it escape into the air!

How Compressed Air Leaks Are Wasting Your Money

  • Higher energy bills

  • Reduced system pressure, which can affect tool performance

  • Increased compressor run time, leading to faster wear and tear

  • Shortened equipment lifespan

  • Unexpected breakdowns and maintenance costs

And the worst part? Most leaks are invisible and impossible to find by ear, especially in noisy industrial environments.

What happens if compressed air leaks?

Air leaks usually develop over time and are caused by:

  • Worn-out seals and gaskets

  • Loose pipe connections

  • Damaged hoses or fittings

  • Corroded piping

  • Improper installation or poor maintenance

They can occur anywhere in your compressed air system — from the compressor room to the final connection Stage in the production process.

Common Areas Where Compressed Air Leaks Occur

At Aadiushmaa Engineers, our air leak detection service covers the entire compressed air system, including:

  • Main air pipelines and compressor rooms

  • Valves, fittings, regulators, and hoses

  • Filters, dryers, quick couplers, and drain traps

  • Water separators and air receivers

  • Gas lines (O₂, N₂, Argon, CO₂)

  • Vacuum systems, boilers, and heat exchangers

We leave no corner unchecked — if it carries compressed air, we’ll inspect it.

What We Do:

Which are the steps for leakage detection?

Our Compressed Air Leak Detection Process.

At Aadiushmaa Engineers Pvt. Ltd., we offer professional compressed air leak detection services using advanced ultrasonic leak detection tools and acoustic imaging cameras.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Site Survey & Planning

We understand your plant layout, noise levels, equipment types, and operating conditions.

2. Ultrasonic Acoustic Leak Detection

We use high-tech tools that:

  • Detect ultrasonic sound frequencies emitted by air leaks

  • Work effectively even in noisy, busy industrial environments

  • Can scan large areas quickly and accurately

3. Visual Leak Detection

Our advanced cameras show leaks in real-time on screen, so you can see exactly where the problem is — like an X-ray for your air system.

4. Comprehensive Reporting

Once the inspection is complete, we give you a detailed report that includes:

  • Exact leak locations

  • Estimated air loss per leak

  • Monetary loss estimate

  • Repair priority list for planning

5. Zero Downtime

The best part? Our process requires no shutdowns, and we conduct testing while your plant is running — no production loss.

Benefits Of Compressed Air Leak Detection Services

  • Cut Energy Costs: By fixing air leaks, you can reduce compressed air energy consumption by up to 30%. That’s real money back into your budget.

  • Improve System Performance: Consistent air pressure leads to better equipment performance, fewer tool failures, and smoother operations.

  • Extend Equipment Life: Reducing compressor workload prevents overheating and wear, thereby extending the lifespan of your system.

  • Reduce Carbon Footprint: Less wasted energy = lower CO₂ emissions. It’s a win for the environment and your sustainability goals.

  • Enhance Output: Fixing leaks means your tools perform consistently, avoiding downtime and production delays.

FAQs – Compressed Air Leak Detection

Q1: How often should air leak detection be done?

Answer: Ideally once every 6–12 months. More frequent audits may be needed in older systems or high-pressure environments.

Q2: Can leaks be found without shutting down operations?

Answer: Yes! Our ultrasonic tools detect leaks in live systems. No need to stop production.

Q3: Will you also repair the leaks?

Answer: We provide a detailed report for your maintenance team or can coordinate repairs through our service partners.

Q4: How much can I save by detecting and fixing leaks?

Answer: Depending on your system, savings can range from ₹50,000 to several lakhs per year, especially if multiple leaks are found.
