Ultrasound Energy Loss Surveys

Air leaks are among the costliest utility leaks in manufacturing environments. Turbulence from leaks creates white noise with a strong ultrasonic component. Our Ultrasound Energy Loss Surveys are designed to identify and correct these leaks, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of pounds annually.

Benefits of Ultrasound Leak Inspection

• Efficiency in Noisy Areas: Especially beneficial in areas with a variety of gases, pressurized vessels, and vacuum processes.
• Significant Cost Savings: Identifying and correcting leaks can result in substantial financial savings.
• Regular Monitoring: Ensures ongoing efficiency and leak management.

Our Compressed Air Maintenance Program

Our program consists of:

• Regular Inspections: Conducted two to four times a year to ensure the integrity of the compressed air system.
• Leak Tagging: Detected leaks are tagged for immediate action.
• Follow-Up: Regular inspections confirm the repair of previously tagged leaks and identify new leaks.

How Ultrasound Instruments Work

• Detection of Turbulent Flow: Ultrasound instruments detect the turbulent flow produced when fluid (liquid or gas) moves from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side of a leak.
• Sound-Dependent Technology: Utilises the unique properties of sound to identify leaks that might not be visible or otherwise detectable.

Applications of Ultrasound Energy Loss Surveys

• Compressed Air Leaks: Significant energy savings by identifying and repairing leaks.
• Heat Exchanger Tubes/Plates: Ensuring efficient operation and preventing energy loss.
• Faulty Steam Traps: Identifying and fixing to save energy and improve system efficiency.
• Passing Isolation Valves: Detecting valves that are not fully closed and could lead to energy loss.
• Low-Level Cavitation: Identifying early stages of cavitation to prevent damage and efficiency loss.
• Electrical: Corona, Tacking Arching and Loose Components
