Let us detect your leaks and save your Business Money!

Producing Compressed Air is costly which probably one of the major contributors to your electricity bills within your Business Practise!

A typical 1mm air leak in a normal Galvanised Steel ½” airline operating at a Pressure Band of 6bar although may not be audible to the Human ear? To which would cost your Business around £300 and £500+ depending on relevant parameters and according costs per year! Bearing in mind there could be many leaks undetected?

With Our ‘Leak Detection Equipment’ we aim to save your Business and reduce your ‘Carbon Footprint’ By means of testing, reporting and repairing.

Compressed air is probably the most expensive energy source on your site. Of the total energy supplied to your air compressor, as little as 8% to 10% may be converted into useful energy. The average leak rate in the UK is estimated to be between 20% and 50%, which represents a major cost to businesses, as well as unnecessary carbon emissions. Please see table 1 below for Annual costs of Air Leaks.
