Industrial Utility Efficiency

Webinar - Detecting and Measuring Compressed Air Leaks Rapidly


Ron Marshall

Pascal van Putten

Darrell Taylor

Join keynote speaker Ron Marshall, Chief Auditor at Marshall Compressed Air Consulting, for a focused session that teaches service professionals and plant personnel how to identify costly leaks quickly and confidently without waiting for a full audit. Participants will learn to recognize telltale signs of leakage, use acoustic imagers or ultrasonic detectors effectively, and estimate system losses in real time. The webinar highlights quick-win strategies for verifying leaks, quantifying energy costs, and building immediate credibility with customers through fast, accurate diagnostics that lead to measurable savings.

Our first sponsor speaker is Pascal van Putten, CEO, VPInstruments. His presentation, “Smarter Leak Detection with Flow Meters,” will explain why flow meters are essential for effective leak management and how they complement traditional leak audits using ultrasonic leak detectors. Flow meters enable faster, more accurate, and continuous leak detection, even in 24/7 production environments. However, fixing leaks alone is not enough to truly optimize a compressed air system. The real value begins after the repairs. You will learn how flow data helps you rebalance supply and demand, update compressor control strategies using new flow profiles, and secure long-term energy savings through permanent monitoring. Whether your focus is energy efficiency, system reliability, or operational excellence, his session shows how flow meters transform leak detection from a one-time audit into a continuous improvement process.

Our second sponsor speaker is Darrell Taylor, Business Development Director for Condition Monitoring, EMEA Region, FLIR. His presentation, “Energy and Cost Reductions with Acoustic Imaging,” will discuss how acoustic imaging is one technology within a suite of complementary tools that businesses can use to reduce operating losses and optimize production processes. He will explain how acoustic imaging detects leaks and helps overcome common leak‑detection hurdles such as difficult access, contamination, and surrounding noise. The resulting insights can quantify the cost of each leak in real terms, allowing easy prioritization of repairs.
