COMPRESSED AIR AND VACUUM PUMPS
General Requirements: A survey log must accompany the incentive application.
COMPRESSED AIR LEAK SURVEY AND REPAIR Requirements: • Complete Table A of the “Process Systems Incentive Catalog Supplemental Data Sheet” for this measure. • Incentive is per HP of connected air compressors in the system, not per CFM of leak identified. In the total HP for the incentive, only include lead and trim air compressors that normally run during plant operation; do not include the HP for any dedicated backup air compressors. • Customer must repair at least one leak for every five connected compressor HP. If less than one leak per every five HP is identified, then all leaks identified must be repaired. In the case where all identified leaks must be repaired, customer may provide written explanation for a leak that cannot be repaired and may still qualify for the incentive. • Leaks must be repaired before application is submitted and Focus on Energy must receive the application within 120 days of leak survey completion date. • Customers may leave a physical leak tag in place for at least two months or keep an electronic log that documents the leak details (such as location, size, repair date, etc.) to allow Focus on Energy to verify leak repairs if needed. • Party receiving incentive is responsible for verifying required number of leaks repaired for incentive eligibility. • This incentive is only available once per 12-month period, per customer site. • A leak log in the form of a spreadsheet must be submitted with the completed incentive application. The following data must be recorded for each leak: tag number, location, description, leak dB reading, estimated cost of leak ($/year), and repaired (yes/no). • Incentive is eligible for up to 100% of survey and repair costs with a maximum incentive of $5,000 per year.

PRO TIP Compressed air leaks can waste 20%-30% of the compressor’s output. Leaks can also cause problems with the compressed air system such as excess compressor capacity, fluctuating system pressure, and shortened equipment life.
