Energy Generation and Consumption Audit in Compressed Air Systems
Compressed Air Efficiency and Energy Consumption Audit
- For a better understanding of how your compressed air system behaves, Airtec offers compressed air energy audit and air system energy consumption analysis.
- That means we place current measuring instruments on your air compressors and pressure sensors at strategic points to analyze your system’s performance.
- With these audits, we can determine how much electrical energy your system is consuming, how much of that energy is actually being converted into compressed air for production, and how much is being wasted on artificial demand.
- We also provide pressure variation data across your plant, and based on that, we offer compressed air efficiency audit solutions and energy generation monitoring for air systems to optimize and keep your system running as efficiently as possible, focusing on industrial compressed air energy optimization.
Description
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
By working with Airtec on an compressed air energy audit process, you’ll gain a detailed understanding of your industrial compressed air energy optimization system.
These audits are crucial to understanding different parameters:
Energy Consumption: Current sensors are placed on the main power connection of the air compressors to determine each compressor’s energy generation monitoring for air systems in kW/hr over a 7–10 day period.
Pressure Variation: Pressure sensors are placed at strategic points throughout the plant to determine the pressure drop and pressure variation during production and non-production hours. This helps us determine how frequently the compressors are loading and unloading to meet the plant’s pressure demand.
Flow and Artificial Demand: With pressure and current data, and using our SCADAR equipment and software, we can determine how much air the compressors are delivering, how much of that compressed air is used for production, and how much energy is being wasted on artificial demand. This process supports a full air system energy consumption analysis and compressed air efficiency audit.
At the end, a detailed report is generated showing graphs hour by hour and day by day.
With this information, we can determine the system’s actual capacity. If an expansion is being considered, it’s extremely helpful to confirm how much additional capacity is truly needed.
In short, a full system diagnosis is generated, which allows us to support our clients in taking the next steps—whether it’s optimization, expansion, maintaining stable pressure, or finding the optimal minimum operating pressure point.
Energy Efficiency:
Advantage: Accurate identification of compressed air system energy consumption.
Application: Determines how much energy is used for production and how much is wasted, enabling adjustments to maximize efficiency through a compressed air energy audit and air system energy consumption analysis.
Equipment-Specific Consumption Breakdown:

Operational Optimization:
Advantage : Improved capacity and performance of the compressed air system.
Application : Adjustment of operating parameters to achieve efficient production and reduce costs associated with compressed air consumption, supported by compressed air efficiency audit results.
Preventive Maintenance Programs:
Advantage : Development of proactive maintenance strategies.
Application : Establishment of preventive maintenance schedules based on data analysis, which may include energy generation monitoring for air systems, to extend equipment life and minimize downtime.
Long-Term Monitoring:
Advantage : Ongoing evaluation of system performance.
Application : Implementation of corrective measures over time to maintain efficiency and adapt to changing production demands.
Reduction of Operating Costs:
Advantage : Identification of areas to reduce costs associated with compressed air consumption.
Application : Implementation of specific measures to minimize expenses and improve the overall profitability of operations.
In summary, a compressed air consumption and capacity audit in a manufacturing plant provides a detailed overview of the system, enabling informed decisions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize production.

Compressed Air Line Air Leakage Audits
Compressed Air Leak Detection Audit
- It is common for a manufacturing plant’s compressed air to have between 25% and 30% wasted due to air leaks, whether from poor connections, pipe wear, or deteriorated filters. By releasing this air into the atmosphere, you are wasting energy that costs money to generate.
- When the air escapes through a pressurized hole, these leaks generate an ultrasonic sound, which can be detected with a Leak Ultrasonic Detector.
- In this audit, our specialized team focuses on compressed air leak detection and marking the leaks, and we provide you with a complete report on the number of leaks found, their location, repair suggestions, as well as the monetary cost of each leak and the total potential savings from repairing all the leaks identified, as part of our air line leakage audits and compressed air system leak audit.
- Additionally, the audit includes industrial air leak testing to further assess the condition of your system and energy loss audits for compressed air lines to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
