Compressed Air Audits & Leak Detection
Identify hidden inefficiencies, reduce operating costs and improve system performance.
Identify hidden inefficiencies, reduce operating costs and improve system performance.
QCAS helps Queensland businesses understand where compressed air is being wasted and which changes are worth making. An efficiency review considers the system as a whole: the compressor, air treatment, storage, pipework and the way production uses air.
Rising power bills, compressors running outside production hours, pressure fluctuations and frequent loading cycles can indicate a mismatch between supply and demand. These symptoms have different possible causes, so the first step is to assess the operating conditions rather than assume a larger compressor is needed.
We agree the review scope with you and assess the information needed to make a useful recommendation. Any projected savings should be based on your operating data, electricity costs and the proposed changes; QCAS does not assume a fixed saving applies to every installation.
Recommendations may involve repairing leaks, improving maintenance, adjusting system operation, modifying air lines or replacing unsuitable equipment. QCAS can coordinate maintenance work and system upgrades so the assessment leads to an achievable scope of work.
Read the Carey Bros Abattoir project for an example of QCAS working on compressed air efficiency and reliability.
For a repair-focused example, see the OzMac Welding Industries project, covering fault diagnosis, compressor repairs and air-line remediation.
Send your site location, compressor details, operating hours and the performance issues you want to resolve. If available, include recent energy information and a description of when production demand changes. Contact QCAS to discuss your audit or call 07 4588 8860.
