Case study
The power of leak detection
The challenge
Guardian Reliability Services recently conducted audits on three mills for a customer in Washington. During these audits, we identified multiple sources of oil leaks ranging from minor one-drop-per-second leaks to significant streaming leaks. Although such leaks might appear inconsequential at first glance, our analysis revealed the significant impact they have on operational costs.
Using our Oil Loss Impact Chart, we illustrated the following:
- One drop per 10 seconds leads to a loss of 40 gallons per year.
- One drop per second escalates to 405 gallons lost per year.
- A streaming leak results in 8,640 gallons lost per year.
- Given the cost of industrial oil at approximately $10 per gallon, the financial impact of these leaks is substantial. For example, a single streaming leak could result in a loss of over $86,000 annually.
The solution
By identifying and addressing hose and seal leaks in these mills, Guardian Reliability Services saved this customer almost $300,000 per year in oil costs alone. The return on investment for leak repairs was immediate, proving the value of a comprehensive audit.
Our audits provide actionable solutions that enhance reliability, reduce waste, and drive significant cost savings for our clients.
