How Process Optimisation Helps Manufacturing Companies Increase Energy Efficiency
Once we have completed the benchmarking process, we make sure to optimise the process. Process optimisation and tuning can deliver large reductions in energy, ensuring wastage and inefficiencies are reduced or eliminated.
Optimising the process can also lead to higher potential benefits for any further energy efficiency solutions, such as heat recovery or fuel switching.
Process optimisation solutions can include:
Tuning
Especially with older equipment, the process can change from the original design specifications, due to changes in production methods, products or operators. Looking at the systems as a whole can help to optimise the process, increasing efficiency and reducing input costs.
Process Controls
Process control can be vital to ensuring a system is performing as required, and efficiently. Poor control can lead to inefficiency, resulting in higher energy use, higher costs and poor quality control.
System and equipment upgrades
Many processes in manufacturing sites across the UK have been in operation for years, often decades. Since installation there have been developments that can improve performance, increase efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Process Energy use our experience in manufacturing industrial ovens, dryers and thermal oxidisers to bring these improvements to you. As part of our energy consultation we highlight these solutions, and provide proposals to deliver them.
Leakage and heat loss
Significant savings can be made by ensuring heat loss is minimised. This can involve replacing insulation, replacing worn parts or optimising airflows.
