Imtiaz Rastgar is a veteran industrialist and former CEO of the Engineering Development Board under Pakistan’s Ministry of Industries.
Compressed air is often dubbed the “fourth utility” in industry after electricity, water, and gas.
It powers everything from pneumatic tools to automated production lines in factories, hospitals, and hotels.
But unlike other utilities, compressed air is rarely optimized. Its generation is energy-intensive, often accounting for 10% to 30% of a factory’s electricity bill, reaching as high as 70% in inefficient systems.
Unseen Inefficiencies, Heavy Losses
Air leaks, oversized compressors, poor piping layouts, over-pressurization, and inadequate maintenance are common in most systems. Leaks alone can waste up to 40% of total air output. Over-pressurized lines push up energy usage without improving productivity. Inadequate staff training leads to misuse and missed savings. These technical and managerial inefficiencies cost industries millions and damage sustainability credentials.
AirAudit’s Proven Response: Holistic, Data-Driven Optimization
Since 2012, AirAudit has led compressed air optimization efforts across Pakistan’s industrial sector. Our approach blends in-field diagnostics, ISO-standard audits, and strategic guidance.
Our End-to-End Process:
- Precise Measurement & Data Logging
We use flow meters, ultrasonics & leak detectors to understand the site-level hard data on energy consumption and system losses. - Design & Distribution Review
We evaluate your entire air network — from compressor room to endpoint — looking for pressure drops, flow restrictions, and bottlenecks. - Operational Practice Audit
We assess current maintenance practices, staff knowledge, and control systems to find gaps in management efficiency. - Point-of-Use Evaluation
Overuse of air tools, dealing with high pressure, and outdated equipment are flagged and addressed. - Customized Reporting
All findings are compiled into a board-level report, with savings potential calculated in kW, PKR, and carbon emissions. - Implementation Support
We assist in project rollouts, confirm savings through follow-up audits, and recommend digital enablers if needed. We specialize in high-compression sectors — textiles, pharma, chemicals, healthcare, and beyond. We align your systems with EU CSRD 2022/2464, making ESG reporting easier while delivering savings. Each business gets a bespoke plan — no templates, no guesswork.
Tangible Benefits for Your Business
Energy Cost Savings: Our clients report upto 30% reduction in energy costs, saving between PKR 10.8M to 54.9M annualy per site. Sustainability That Pays Off: Reduced emissions = potential for carbon credits and enhanced corporate image. Bridging the Knowledge Gap: We empower your team with training and tools to maintain gains long after our audit. Clear ROI: From leak reduction to compressor reconfiguration, every intervention is costed and results are tracked.
