Compressed air is energy. Leaking air lines, couplings and hoses are simply put, sources of energy waste. The majority of companies have a leakage rate of more than 20%. Apart from being completely unnecessary it is expensive and contributes to your CO2 emissions. With a leakage management programme it is fully possible to achieve a leakage rate of less than 5%
Advantiv use the latest state of the art technology ATEX approved equipment to identify areas where air leakage is costing you money. The survey is carried out independently and a report generated on the findings highlighting areas where repair needs to be carried out. As Advantiv are also a Festo Premier Network Partner and can also help provide the necessary ancillary equipment to rectify the problems detected.
As part of our Leak Repair Management Programme (LRMP) we also provide experienced engineering resource to complete the repairs further reducing the payback on this surve,y, during this process we will also work with the client to further reduce the amout of compressed air used on site by advising and implementing changes to equipment and processes.
Leakage detection surveys are not just limited to compressed air, leaks from gas lines including Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen and Argon can also be detected.

“The No Risk Guarantee”
If we don’t find leakages in your compressed air or gas system equivalent of our fee, we won’t charge you, it is that simple. Even if you have your own equipment or have what you believe is a working in-house system our No gain - No pay offer still applies. We know that you can find leakages on your own but with state-of the art ultra-sonic equipment and experience we usually find considerably more. At the same time we will provide you with the necessary documentation for quick repair. We cover 5-7.000 M2 of normal production area per day, in most cases the survey is paid for within the first hour.
Compressor Verification and Flow Monitoring
A further service offered investigates the compressed air system in more depth. After monitoring the compressors and carrying out flow monitoring a report is produced detailing power consumption rates, flow rates, pressures, and losses. We can then advise where inefficiencies lie and improvements can be made. This service offers accurate data on the actual costs to produce the compressed air and where inefficiencies are costing your business money. We have shown that efficiency testing and flow monitoring gives the client a better understanding of what their requirements actually are before looking at making any wholesale changes to their compressors.
Compressor Software Management Systems
Advantiv work with Energair one of the world’s leading compressor control manufacturers, by carrying out verification audits and working with Energair we can significantly reducing clients compressed air use and thus energy costs.
