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 dept 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

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. Few Ideas

PRIME MOVERS ( MOTORS ) :
Replace higher rating motors by lower hp motors
Use variable frequency drive where ever possible

AIR CONDITIONING :
Set temperature to comfort levels .
Insulation to be placed on all cooling surfaces

COOLING TOWERS:
Install Plastic blades instead of metal casting blades for fan motor

BOILERSFURNACES /OVENS
Use Heat exchanger to recover heat

FUEL ALTERNATE :
Use Gas as fuel instead of high speed diesel or low diesel oil

ENERGY ELECTRICAL :
Use capacitor bank to improve power factor of electrical distribution
