Revolutionizing Compressed Air Leak Detection with Acoustic Imaging

How Systel Energy Solutions is Transforming Industrial Efficiency

Compressed air is one of the most essential, yet often overlooked, utilities in modern industry. Despite its importance, many plants lose up to 30% of their compressed air through leaks—leading to significant energy wastage and higher operating costs.

At Systel Energy Solutions, we are changing the way industries manage their compressed air systems through the use of advanced Acoustic Imaging Technology.

Our latest field video demonstrates how we detect and pinpoint multiple leaks in real-time, even in complex environments. What was once a painstaking manual process is now completed quickly and accurately using our state-of-the-art tools.

The Limitations of Traditional Leak Detection

Historically, identifying compressed air leaks involved handheld ultrasonic probes, soap water methods, or simply listening for hissing sounds. These techniques are inefficient, especially in loud, large-scale facilities, and often miss small or intermittent leaks.

Missed leaks don’t just affect pressure stability—they cost companies thousands in avoidable energy bills.

A Smarter, Scientific Approach

Systel’s ultrasonic acoustic imagers allow us to “see” sound, transforming high-frequency noise into visual heatmaps that identify exact leak locations. Unlike conventional methods, our tools can:

• Detect multiple leaks during a single scan

• Accurately size and quantify leak impact

• Operate effectively in high-noise environments

• Cover inaccessible or elevated pipelines without scaffolding

This enables our team to conduct comprehensive surveys in a fraction of the time, providing clients with a clear, data-driven action plan.

Why Work with Systel Energy Solutions?

With more than 23 years in the field and over 1,000 detailed leak audits completed, Systel has developed a proven methodology for improving compressed air efficiency. Our audits go beyond detection—they identify the root cause of recurring leaks and help clients permanently eliminate them.

Every audit includes:

• Root cause analysis

• Leak severity categorization

• Estimated energy loss and cost impact

• Actionable recommendations with ROI mapping

The Cost of Ignoring Air Leaks

A single 1 CFM leak can consume up to 0.15 kW of power. At current energy prices, this adds up quickly—often to several lakhs annually for facilities with unmonitored systems.

Clients who’ve deployed our acoustic imaging audits regularly recover hundreds of energy units per day and achieve their return on investment in as little as two to three months.

See It in Action

In our featured video, you can see how our system detects multiple simultaneous leaks inside a typical plant setup. It’s a clear demonstration of how accurate data and the right tools can drive operational improvements and measurable savings.
