Thermal Energy Audits for Metal Manufacturing
Metal manufacturing in the UK faces increasing pressures, with higher energy costs than many competing countries, and increasing demands for sustainable production.
Energy is a major cost in metal production, maintaining efficient use is vital for manufacturers to remain competitive. Process Energy provide thermal energy benchmarking and evaluations on all key consumers and producers of energy. From this energy report we can identify where energy can be reduced, recovered and reused, and provide solutions that deliver real change.
Areas such as process drying, coating lines and thermal oxidisers use large amounts of heat and energy. Process Energy look at the entire process to understand how systems integrate, and where maximum savings can be achieved.
From primary metal production, to fabricated metal manufacturing such as beverage cans, Process Energy deliver a range of solutions to reduce energy consumption, lower costs and decarbonise the entire process.
Focus Areas for Thermal Energy Audits
The following processes are most common within the metal manufacturing sector. These are where an energy consultation would focus, as delivering energy efficiency solutions in these areas should deliver the highest reduction in carbon emissions, and highest cost savings.
- Process drying
- Thermal oxidisers
- Surface coating
- Beverage can manufacturing
