Client challenges
A compressor load was observed at a manufacturing plant to be rising, but it was not possible to locate the loss during normal production.The plant has a high level of noise, and traditional sounding methods are inefficient and difficult to locate accurately.
Test Method
- Development of patrol routes covering the network of supervisors and gas equipment
- Collection of acoustic images while the plant is running
- Prioritization based on estimated loss and maintenance availability
- Repeated inspection after maintenance and confirm closure.
Quantified results
The inspection recorded 57 leaks.The rehabilitation shows a significant reduction in waste, with projected annual savings of over Euro43,000, and the recording of images provides a clear list of closed rings for the maintenance team.
