Essay About Energy Conservation And Brief Summary Of Plant Energy Intake

Energy Savings
Energy audit report and Evaluation of scope for energy conservation:Brief summary of Plant energy intake:Connected loadPeak operating loadOff –peak loadContract demandMaximum demandAverage power factorObjective of the report is to identify and recommend a set of cost-effective energy conservation schemes for the CAPOL plant which will further reduce the overall specific consumption of the electricity and fuels in the plant without actually affecting the production or quality of the products. The implementation of the process should result in improved energy efficiency and should reduce specific energy cost of production and net increase in profitabilityCheck list of energy intensive equipment: Compressed air systemsWater pumping systems and cooling towers]Thermic fluid heatersSteam systemsFurnacesTransformersPower factor and demand managementElectric motorsFans and BlowersLightingDG setsMajor focus areas for energy conservation:To enforce the usage of operations management for proper capacity utilizationBoilers are not efficient at part load conditionsUsing right fuelPoor insulations on steam lines flanges, valves etcSteam trap by passesHexane losses due to poor steam distribution and utilizationOther possible energy recovery options:Condensate recovery and recirculation as feed waterTo verify whether flash steam at anywhere usefulTo verify the systems like cooling water circulation systems operating as per the capacity of the plant.Suggest to make an Energy management policyBench mark the specific energy consumptionIncorporate energy efficiency equipment in all the project infrastructuresConduct regular energy auditsTo adopt the energy conservation practicesEnhance the skills of the human resources and strengthen the energy management programsCapacity utilization maximization – co-generation and waste energy recoveryLoss prevention of the water, power, steam, coal, compressed air and chilling systemsMotivating the employees to reduce energy consumption by 1 % per annum.Other miscellaneous energy saving possibilities:Replacement of motors with smaller capacityTransparent sheets for the packing section and ware houses for eliminating the lightsInstallation of VFD wherever possibleCooling tower blades with superior materialEnergy recovery like using the heat from the steam condensate for heating of oil cake.Insulation of the storage tanksOther energy saving measures:Gear box changesEnergy recovery optionsPrevention of energy lossesReplacing steam ejectors etc with better pumping systemsAdvise:Implementation of ISO standards and Quality standards:
