Industrial

There is wide variety in industry - a dairy has lower energy requirements than a steelworks. Nonetheless, most industrial processes need high temperatures and/or motive power, both of which generate waste heat. One of the biggest efficiencies to be made is the recycling of waste heat - either for space and water heating in the factory or for export to heat the local neighbourhood.

Energy Efficiency is the practice of reducing the amount of energy used without reducing the end-use benefits enabled by that energy. Energy efficiency can be categorized in a number of ways including end-use efficiency and end-to-end efficiency.

High energy cost produced from primary and secondary sources, warrant maximization of energy efficiency in production as well as consumption. In operation of boilers, heaters, pumps, compressors, turbines etc % Load on the equipment has an impact on the energy efficiency of the system. A typical load vs efficiency is shown in the next slide. In these equipments, efficiency increases with load, reaches a maximum and then starts dropping down. When a number of such equipments is in operation, as in boilers, an optimum operation of boilers must be chosen totimization methodology. minimize energy consumption and operating cost.

This can be achieved by a systematic Energy Auditing of various sections at both micro level and macro level. For more details, refer to technical audit info enclosed in the directory.
