Put a Stop to Compressed Air Leaks

Waste from Compressed Air Leaks is Costing you Thousands

Compressed air is one of the most expensive industrial utilities, yet 30–40% is often lost to leaks. This translates to tens of thousands to millions of dollars wasted annually on energy alone. But the cost goes beyond just higher electricity bills—leaks create inefficiencies that impact your entire operation.

• Inconsistent air supply disrupts production – Pressure drops can limit equipment performance, slow down processes, and even lead to unplanned downtime.
• Environmental impact of wasted energy – Leaking compressed air increases your facility’s carbon footprint and energy consumption, driving up operational costs.
• Increased wear on expensive equipment – Compressors work harder to compensate for leaks, causing premature wear, more frequent breakdowns, and costly repairs or replacements.

Finding and fixing leaks isn’t just about saving energy—it’s about protecting your bottom line, maintaining reliability, and maximizing the lifespan of your equipment.

Find Leaks Instantly with Acoustic Imaging

Most facilities still rely on outdated leak detection methods that are slow, labor-intensive, and unreliable. The SonaVu+ Acoustic Imaging Camera changes that by visualizing compressed air leaks at their source-even in loud, complex industrial environments.

The SonaVu+ brings leaks into focus with next-generation Digital MEMS Sensors, providing improved sensitivity, greater detection distance, and superior resolution. A long-distance optical camera, two-finger zoom, and enhanced reporting capabilities set a new standard for leak detection and documentation.

• No downtime required – Detect leaks without shutting down production or disrupting operations.
• Instant visualization – See exactly where leaks are, eliminating guesswork and reducing time spent searching.
• Works in noisy environments – Unlike traditional ultrasonic tools, SonaVu+ pinpoints leaks even in high-noise facilities.
• Immediate cost savings – Fixing leaks cuts energy waste, reduces operational costs, and extends equipment life.

Eliminate wasteful, inefficient, unsustainable, and sometimes hazardous leaks from your processes with the SonaVu+ Acoustic Imaging Camera.

Performing a Leak Survey with Acoustic Imaging

Finding and fixing compressed air leaks is a straightforward process with the right approach. Here’s how to do it effectively:

• Review Your System & Plan Your Survey – Assess your facility’s compressed air system, identify high-risk areas, and plan a structured leak detection survey.
• Scan for Leaks with Acoustic Imaging – Use the SonaVu+ Acoustic Imaging Camera to quickly locate leaks, even in noisy environments.
• Record & Report Findings – Document each leak using the built-in reporting app, including location, severity, and estimated energy loss.
• Schedule Repairs – Prioritize the most significant leaks and coordinate repairs to maximize energy savings.
• Verify & Optimize – Conduct a follow-up survey to confirm all leaks were properly sealed and identify any new problem areas.

By following this process, you’ll eliminate waste, lower costs, and improve system efficiency—ensuring your compressed air network operates at peak performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best method for detecting compressed air leaks?

While traditional methods like soap bubbles and handheld ultrasonic detectors can work, acoustic imaging is the most efficient and accurate way to detect leaks. It visually pinpoints leaks in real time, even in noisy industrial environments, eliminating the guesswork and labor-intensive process of traditional methods.

Why is ultrasound, and specifically acoustic imaging, so effective for leak detection?

Compressed air leaks produce high-frequency ultrasonic sounds that are difficult to hear in loud environments. Acoustic imaging converts these sounds into a real-time visual representation, allowing you to see exactly where leaks are, no matter how complex your facility is. This makes detection faster, more accurate, and more efficient than any other method.

How fast can I see a return on investment (ROI) from fixing compressed air leaks?

Most facilities see an ROI on day one after leaks are fixed. Even a single ⅛” leak can cost thousands of dollars per year in wasted energy. Sealing multiple leaks often results in immediate energy savings, significantly reducing your operating costs from the very first day.

What is the best way to get buy-in from upper management?

The key to approval is showing the financial impact. Conducting a leak survey and calculating potential savings can demonstrate how much money is being wasted. Many companies also highlight sustainability benefits, as reducing leaks lowers energy consumption and helps meet corporate efficiency goals.

Why should I fix compressed air leaks?

Ignoring leaks leads to higher energy costs, inconsistent air supply, and unnecessary wear on expensive equipment. Fixing them lowers utility bills, prevents pressure drops, extends compressor lifespan, and reduces unplanned downtime—all while improving overall system efficiency.

How easy is it to find compressed air leaks?

With acoustic imaging, leak detection is faster and easier than ever. Instead of scanning inch by inch with outdated tools, an acoustic imaging camera instantly detects leaks from a distance, making it possible to scan entire systems in a fraction of the time. This means less labor, fewer missed leaks, and immediate cost savings.
