Air Audit
Reasons for an air compressor audit:
- Increase productivity
- Reduce capital costs
- Reduce compressor maintenance costs
- Reduce energy costs
- Visualization
- Curtailment
An air compressor system can be complex and difficult to understand. The hardest part of an air audit is deciding on what type of audit is best for your company. There are two types of audits, supply and demand.
Supply Side Audit
A supply side audit studies how an air compressor generates air and how it is treated. A supply side audit will help identify ways to reduce compressor maintenance controls, improve air quality, and energy cost savings. The supply side audit is limited to the compressor room and doesn’t focus on your process. A supply side audit’s recommendations usually require the highest capital costs with the least amount of savings.
Demand Side Audit
A demand side audit studies how an air compressor utilizes air. A demand side audit will identify the most potential savings with the least amount of capital investment. A demand side audit will help improve process, reduce energy costs, reduce compressor maintenance costs, and increase productivity. How to decide: It is hard to decide on what type of audit is best. Zabatt Air Systems has broken down the audits into a basic feasibility study to an extensive audit with visualization.
Feasibility Study
A feasibility study is a basic walkthrough of your entire air compressor system and facility. The feasibility study is conducted by one of our trained audit professionals. The objective of the feasibility study is to make recommendations on how to improve the system and help decide if a more extensive audit is required.
Z Demand Audit
The Z-Demand Audit includes leak detection, point of use, process evaluation, air quality verification and distribution layout. The Z-Demand Audit is key auditing tool that provides the best return on your investment. Our trained audit professionals will provide a detailed report that will allow you to plot your best course of action.

Visualization
The problem with most air compressor audits is the information only provides a snap shot of a period of time. What happens after you make all or some of the recommendations of the audit? How do verify your savings? What happens if you make changes to your production? How do you know the changes are still into affect months or even years later?
