Generally speaking, the word audit is a term that strikes fear among tax-paying citizens of the world, especially in springtime around tax filing season. However, not all audits are bad, especially when they’re focused on decreasing costs.

Swagelok Evaluation & Advisory

We know first-hand the benefits of auditing compressed air systems. An audit provides an opportunity for a comprehensive assessment of the health of an entire system, or a single element of a system, with the goal of increasing efficiencies and productivity, while decreasing energy costs.

Air Ain’t Cheap

Compressed air is one of the most expensive uses of energy in a production facility. Approximately eight kW of electricity is required to generate one kW of compressed air. Over 70 percent of all manufacturers have compressed air systems in operation – these systems are vital, powering a variety of equipment including control systems, machine tools, material handling and production equipment, enabling the overall operation and efficiency of the plant.

Whether they realize or not, or simply fail to acknowledge the fact, many facility managers are fighting an invisible villain in the their utility air system – leakage. Valves that fail to fully close, improperly installed fittings, aging piping systems – these are just a few of the likely places you’ll find a leak in a compressed air system. When they’re obvious, they’re easy to identify and fix; however, when they’re not obvious and remain undetected, the air they allow to escape can really add up.

We’ve found that about two-thirds of energy costs for compressed air can be significantly reduced without major capital cost, and a typical manufacturing or production facility can save greatly by having a comprehensive assessment of their utility air system.
