Industrial Compressed Air System Audit in Canada | Energy Audit EnerSolution

Introduction: Tackling Industry's Most Costly Utility
In Canadian industrial facilities, compressed air systems represent one of the largest and most inefficient energy consumers, often accounting for 20-40% of total electricity costs. What many plant managers don't realize is that typically 30-50% of this energy is wasted through leaks, inappropriate uses, and system inefficiencies. At EnerSolution, we specialize in Industrial Compressed Air System Audits that transform this essential but costly utility into an optimized, efficient asset. Our engineering-based approach identifies not just obvious leaks but systemic issues that undermine your productivity and profitability, delivering some of the fastest paybacks of any energy efficiency measure.

The EnerSolution Compressed Air Audit Methodology: Precision Engineering for Maximum Savings
Our certified energy professionals employ a comprehensive, data-driven approach to compressed air system optimization:

• Phase 1: System Mapping & Demand Analysis

  • System demand profiling and usage pattern analysis

  • Distribution system mapping and pressure drop calculations

  • Appropriate use assessment and misapplication identification

• Phase 2: Advanced Leak Detection & System Testing
  Our team utilizes specialized equipment for precise measurement:

  • Ultrasonic leak detection throughout the entire distribution system

  • Pressure trend analysis and transient event monitoring

  • Flow measurement and consumption verification

  • Power monitoring correlated with system demand

• Phase 3: Optimization Strategy & Implementation Planning
  We deliver actionable recommendations with verified savings:

  • Control system optimization and sequencing strategies

  • Heat recovery opportunity assessment
