Offline Air Leakage Survey
Offline leakage audit allows to the customers save money in the energy consumption and CO2 emissions. In the first quarter of 2023, our teams have detected more than 3,500 leaks in our clients’ facilities, which represent a cost for them of more than €2.8 million and annual emissions of 2,500 t CO2e
Project description and objectives
CompCare, a Rubix UK company, audited a major food company’s compressed air systems at two of its large production facilities. Data loggers were installed to calculate compressed air and energy usage and quantify potential energy savings that could be achieved through system improvements
- The client wants to optimize the efficiency, performance of their compress air system of the plant
Proposed solution
Using a data-driven approach, CompCare recommended and implemented several changes to deliver efficiency gains, including combining two systems to create a single system; reducing system air pressure; installing an intelligent control system to better match air supply and demand; and upgrading compressor equipment to more efficient models
Cost saving
Across the two sites, efficiency improvements implemented by CompCare reduced annual energy consumption by 17% and related costs by around £140,000, delivering a return on investment within 18 months.
