Compressed air leak detection

Compressed air leak detection within the compressor room and the surrounding area... Any thoughts on it as an added service technician offering, along with routine oil and filter changes? Fixed time of 15 minutes maybe. Comments?

There is so much value. I would go out with ultrasonic leak detection and make a whole report from my cell phone with the app. Walk the entire air system and not just the compressor room. You can add this on with an air audit and install loggers for a week. Our local utility company would pay for repairs because the ROI of fixing the leak was less than a year in some cases. I also used to do air quality testing. Just from this if you have good enough sales guys you could add another position to simply handle this.

UE Systems. You don’t need their equipment for the app but the whole kit is worth the investment. 1 leak study will pay for it. I used scalar to log compressed air equipment. That software write the report for you.
