In a typical plant that lacks proper maintenance, leak rates can reach 20% of total compressed air production capacity. However, with proactive leak detection and repair, leaks can be reduced to less than 10%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following chart illustrates how much air leaks can cost plant operators annually, depending on the size of the leak and energy costs. Keep in mind that these energy costs estimates are based on just one air leak so these costs can add up quickly, making proactive leak detection and proper maintenance essential for efficiency and cost savings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Leak Size Diameter<\/strong><br \/><strong>\u00a0(Inches)<\/strong><\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Air Loss\u00a0<br \/>(SCFM)<\/strong><\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Annual Energy Cost (USD)<br \/>($0.10\/KwH, 8,000hrs\/yr)<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1\/16\u201d<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7 SCFM<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$1,000 \u2013 $1,200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1\/8\u201d<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">25 SCFM<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$3,500 \u2013 $4,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1\/4\u2033<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">100 SCFM<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$14,000 \u2013 $16,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3\/8\u201d<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">225 SCFM<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$30,000 \u2013 $35,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1\/2\u2033<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">400 SCFM<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$55,000 \u2013 $65,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond wasted energy, leaks can create additional operational challenges.
