Acoustic Imaging for Compressed Air Systems

Why use acoustic imaging for compressed air leak detection?

Compressed air systems are vital in many industrial and commercial operations, but undetected leaks can significantly reduce efficiency, drive up energy costs, and impact overall system performance. Acoustic imaging cameras provide an innovative solution by using high-frequency sound detection to pinpoint leaks quickly and accurately, even in noisy environments. This non-invasive approach allows maintenance teams to address issues proactively, reducing downtime and minimizing waste. By identifying leaks early, acoustic imaging helps optimise compressed air usage, conserve energy, and support sustainable operational practices.

How can an acoustic imager be used to detect compressed air leakage?

Acoustic imaging is often used in hazardous environments where inspections typically require close access to equipment and adherence to strict health and safety protocols, such as climbing ladders or entering confined spaces. By allowing surveys to be conducted from a distance, acoustic imaging offers a faster, more accurate, and safer alternative, significantly reducing both time and risk.

Inspection & Monitoring Survey Methodology

Red Current’s compressed air inspection surveys provide a comprehensive overview of equipment performance - enabling maintenance scheduling, capital investments as well as health & safety to be pro-active rather than reactive. Our reports provide a clear understanding of the cause and location of defects together with a severity/cost assessment that assists with the planned approach and scheduling of any remedial works.

Our survey approach has been tailored over many years to ensure the inspections are carried out safely and non-intrusively, causing no disruption to business operations whilst providing a full audit trail of the health of the equipment that has been inspected.

Each inspection is fully risk assessed with clear method statements and completed by certified engineers. A systematic approach is applied to each individual site to ensure all compressed air assets are inspected and examined methodically - ready for our reports.

Our survey reports clearly present all issues that are identified together with recommendations and an annual leakage cost calculation,
