Energy Audits
Compressed Air System Audit
A full system audit of your compressed air generation, distribution, and end-use to optimize pressure, flow, and energy cost.
Finds the 20–30% that never reaches production
Right-sizes compressor capacity
Cuts compressed air energy cost
Recognise the Problem
Compressed air costs feel high relative to production, but no one has traced the full system — compressor room to point of use — to find out why.
You've never checked whether your compressors are right-sized for actual plant demand, or suspect they may be oversized or running at the wrong pressure band.
Line pressure is set higher than equipment actually needs, and it's never been reviewed.
You've had a leak survey done before, but never a look at compressor sizing, loading, or system-wide demand beyond individual leaks.
Here's what that looks like in practice — what we investigate, how we assess it, and what you'd typically find:
What We Inspect
Compressor sizing, distribution piping, pressure drop, and end-use demand across the full compressed air system.
What We Measure
Where compressed air is wasted — through leaks, oversized compressor loading, artificial demand, and incorrect pressure band settings.
How It Helps
Right-sizes the system to actual plant needs instead of masking losses with added compressor capacity.
Our Advantage
We look beyond leaks alone, auditing the whole generation-to-end-use system for efficiency gains.
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities inside a factory. Yet in many plants, 20–30% never reaches production — this audit finds out where it's going, tracing the full path from compressor room to point of use so the loss isn't just estimated, it's located.
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a plant per unit of delivered energy. Our system audit examines compressor sizing, distribution pressure drop, and end-use demand to find efficiency gains across the whole system, because a plant can be leak-free and still be wasting significant energy if the compressors themselves are oversized or running at the wrong pressure band.
We look beyond leaks alone — at compressor loading, pressure band settings, and artificial demand — to right-size the system for actual plant needs. Artificial demand, where equipment consumes more air simply because line pressure is higher than it needs to be, is a common and easily overlooked source of waste that a leak survey alone would never catch.

Compressed Air System Audit — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a compressed air system audit?
A compressed air system audit examines a plant's compressed air generation, distribution, and end-use — compressor sizing, pressure drop, and demand — to find efficiency gains across the whole system, not just leaks.
Why is a compressed air audit important?
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a plant per unit of delivered energy, and in many plants 20–30% of it never reaches production.
How is a compressed air system audit performed?
Engineers examine compressor loading, pressure band settings, artificial demand, and distribution pressure drop to right-size the system for actual plant needs, going beyond leak detection alone.
How does this differ from a compressed air leak survey?
A system audit looks at the whole system — compressor sizing, pressure, and demand — while our compressed air leak survey specifically ultrasonically locates and quantifies individual leaks. The two are complementary and often used together.
Which industries use this service?
Compressed air system audits are used across manufacturing, automotive, tyre, and process industries where compressed air drives production equipment.
What information does the customer receive?
Findings identify exactly where compressed air is wasted and how to right-size the system, instead of masking losses with added compressor capacity.
