Leak Detection and Repair
Brabazon provides professional leak audits to identify hidden inefficiencies in your compressed air system. A leak audit is a detailed survey where certified technicians locate, tag and calculate the cost of each leak in terms of wasted energy. By fixing leaks immediately, you reduce waste, protect productivity and lock in long-term energy savings. We work with your local power company when available to help offset repair expenses.
How It Works
Brabazon will:
- Identify and tag all leaks
- Calculate the energy costs of each leak
- Repair leaks with the biggest payback
What Does a Compressed Air Leak Audit Include?
Brabazon's compressed air leak audits are systematic, facility-wide surveys conducted by experienced technicians using ultrasonic leak detection equipment. Our audit process covers all compressed air distribution piping, fittings, valves, hoses, quick-disconnects, pressure regulators, and point-of-use connections throughout your facility. Here's what to expect:
- Pre-audit baseline measurement: We document your current system pressure, compressor run time, and estimated energy cost to establish a baseline.
- Ultrasonic scanning: Our technicians walk every inch of your compressed air distribution system with ultrasonic leak detectors that identify leaks inaudible to the human ear.
- Leak tagging and documentation: Every leak found is tagged with a numbered identifier, photographed, and recorded by location, severity, and estimated flow loss.
- Repair report: You receive a detailed written report listing all leaks found, their locations, estimated CFM loss per leak, and prioritized repair recommendations.
- ROI calculation: We calculate the estimated annual energy cost of your leakage and project the payback period for repair investments.
How Much Energy Is Lost to Leaks?
Industry data consistently shows that compressed air leaks represent 20 to 30% of a typical industrial facility's compressed air output. For a facility running a 100 HP compressor, that can mean $10,000-$20,000 or more in annual wasted energy costs. Even a single 1/8" orifice leak at 100 PSI wastes approximately 25 CFM - enough to keep a mid-size compressor running constantly just to compensate for that one leak.
A Brabazon leak audit typically identifies leak corrections that pay for the audit cost many times over in the first year alone. Contact us to schedule your audit or call 800.825.3222.
