01Create an actionable register
For each suspected leak, record location, equipment identification, observed evidence and production constraints. Use appropriate detection methods and trained personnel. A list of noises is less useful than a register that a maintenance team can safely locate and close.
02Separate repair from estimation
Any estimated lost flow depends on the detection method and operating pressure. Mark estimates as estimates and prioritize work using practical repair effort and operational impact. Avoid treating a survey estimate as electricity already saved.
03Verify the result
Compare station loading or measured power before and after repairs at similar production demand. Keep other changes visible, such as pressure setpoints or shifts. Where the compressor control cannot turn reduced demand into lower power effectively, the energy benefit may differ from the calculated air-volume reduction.
