Project 31032
Energy Assessment for Cost Reduction
A Food Processing company is looking for ways to reduce costs and become even more efficient.
Industrial Energy Engineering conducted an Energy Assessments as required by the Boiler MACT/NESHAP regulations for this manufacturing plant. IEE discovered that the existing steam system was overdesigned from a flow and pressure standpoint for existing product mix. A change in operating pressure setpoint was recommended.
The plant now has lower operating costs with no additional capital expenditure due to less natural gas required to generate the new steam pressure and less line losses at the lower steam temperature.
Project 29092
Energy Assessment for Metals Component Manufacturer
A metals component manufacturer has Energy Bills that are much higher than expected
Industrial Energy Engineering conducted an Energy Assessment and determined that a key ventilation system component had malfunctioned on one of the main units. IEE recommended repair or replacement of the ventilation unit with the option of upgraded controls to further reduce energy consumption.
The Manufacturer repaired the key unit and is considering the option of controls upgrade.
Project 20396
Energy Assessment of Institutional Boilers
A Hospital has large centralized boilers and a campus with multiple wings built at different times with different design philosophies
Industrial Energy Engineering constructed an energy balance of both the new and old boiler systems that revealed an error in the input data from the new boiler meters. These meters had never been correctly calibrated when they were installed.
The client had the meters recalibrated and the "ghost steam flow" problem was eliminated. This bolstered the hospitals confidence in their new systems and operational practices.
Project 21594
Energy Assessment of Glass Plant
A Glass Manufacturer has kilns with high heating energy costs that are reducing the company's profit margin.
Industrial Energy Engineering compared the existing kilns with more modern designs and showed that an integrated kiln recuperation design could be retrofitted to their kilns, allowing preheat air to reduce gas consumption.
The next kiln rebuilds ( in about two years) will include the recommended new recuperator.
