Once a leak is located, it needs to be quantified to determine its severity and impact on the system. This involves measuring the rate of air loss, typically in terms of standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) or cubic meters per hour. Accurate quantification helps prioritize leaks based on their size and potential energy savings.

After quantifying the leaks, it's important to prioritize them based on their size, impact, and energy loss. Larger leaks or those affecting critical operations should be given higher priority for immediate repair. A systematic approach, such as assigning a numerical value or color-coding to prioritize leaks, can be helpful.

The repair stage involves taking action to fix the identified leaks. This may require replacing faulty components, tightening connections, or applying sealants. Qualified personnel should perform the repairs to ensure proper techniques and equipment are used. The repaired area should be tested to confirm the leak has been eliminated.

Once repairs are completed, it's crucial to implement a monitoring and maintenance program. This involves regularly inspecting the system for new leaks, as well as conducting preventive maintenance to avoid future leaks. Ongoing monitoring can be done through a combination of periodic audits, using leak detection equipment, incorporating smart sensors that provide real-time data on overall compressed air supply performance.
