Customer challenge
A manufacturing plant saw rising compressor demand but could not identify the losses during normal production. Traditional listening methods were slow and difficult in the noisy facility.
Inspection approach
- Defined a route covering production headers and point-of-use equipment
- Captured acoustic images while the plant remained in operation
- Prioritized findings by estimated loss and repair access
- Repeated the route after repair to confirm closure
Measured result
The survey documented 57 leaks. Repair verification showed a significant reduction in wasted air and an estimated annual saving of more than €43,000, while the image record gave maintenance a clear close-out list.
