Energy Savings In Manufacturing Industry
Energy plays a very important role in industry, Industries could be classified into heavy energy consumer, medium energy consumer and low energy consumer. Organization have started doing energy audits in their plants, offices etc. Such studies has highlighted waste of energy and requirement of energy efficient technology.
Some areas for energy cost reductions.
OFFICE:
Large Corporations or factories have bigger administration offices like accounts, sales, purchase, human resources, production planning, canteens, rest rooms, common rooms etc. Each department or sections has certain utilities like air conditioners, photocopiers, fans, air washers, lights etc. Cost reduction in energy bill can be achieved through proper monitoring optimization of equipments
LIGHTING
HEATING
FANS
PLANTS
Any manufacturing unit would consume energy for its production purpose. With monitoring and proper utilization of equipments We can have substantial cost reduction in energy cost. Energy could be in various form thermal or electrical.
PRIME MOVERS ( MOTORS )
AIR CONDITIONING
COOLING TOWERS
BOILERS /FURNACES /OVENS
REFRIGERATION AND AIR COMPRESSOR
FUEL ALTERNATE
ENERGY ELECTRICAL
Lets us take a simple example of cooling tower. Cooling towers are used to cool hot water coming out of air conditioning, generators or other utilities.
Cooling Tower Fans are made up of aluminium casting these are then rotated to create draughts which in turn cools the water. These fans can be replaced by Fibre Plastic made fans or blades. These Blades are light in weight hence power consumed by motor is less. Thus by replacing metallic blades with Fibre Plastic can result in considerable savings.
Putting temperature sensors into cooling tower basin can result in stopping motors from running the moment desired temperatures are achieved.
All about cost reduction strategies, ideas, tips which would increase profitability, improve productivity, reduce waste.
