Acoustic Ultrasound
Hear what your eyes can't see. Compressed air leaks, failing bearings, leaking steam traps, and electrical discharge all emit ultrasonic signatures we can locate and quantify.
Airborne ultrasound leak detection. Ultrasonic bearing monitoring. Real energy savings.
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in any plant — and most facilities lose 20–30% of it to leaks. A single afternoon compressed air leak audit using airborne ultrasound typically pays for itself in weeks, and the report is built to support utility energy-rebate filings.
Beyond air leaks, ultrasonic bearing monitoring catches lubrication issues and early-stage defects that vibration analysis misses. The same survey detects partial discharge, electrical discharge and Corona in MV switchgear and High Voltage yards, bad steam traps, and valve leak-through — one technician, one tool, four high-ROI inspections.
- Compressed air & gas leak surveys
- Steam trap testing
- Vacuum leaks
- Electrical partial discharge detection
- Bearing condition monitoring
- Valve pass-through detection
- Energy savings reporting
Why this service pays for itself
Our process
How an engagement runs
Walk-down & tagging
We systematically walk every air drop, header, and use-point, tagging leaks with numbered IDs for repair tracking.
Multi-application scan
Same visit covers steam traps, valves, electrical PD in MV switchgear, and bearing condition where requested.
Quantify & prioritize
Each leak is sized in CFM and dollars per year. Steam traps are graded blow-through, leaking, or good.
Repair verification
Whether your team repairs the issue or ours does, we re‑scan and update the report so savings are documented, bankable, and captured as each item is fixed.
What you get
Deliverables you can act on
Every engagement ends with a clear, prioritized report your team can act on — not a data dump. Findings are tied to specific assets and accompanied by photos and supporting data. We can also perform repairs on identified assets, provide repair quotes, and manage implementation to reduce your team's burden and begin realizing verified savings as each item is corrected.
- Leak log with location, size (CFM), and annual $ cost
- Photos and tag numbers for every finding
- Steam trap survey with blow-through / leak / good grading
- Partial discharge findings on MV switchgear (when in scope)
- Bearing condition baseline with dB readings
- Energy-savings summary suitable for utility rebate filings
