Description:
|
An Energy Conservation Survey was performed. The total estimated annualized savings opportunities identified during the survey totaled $784,300.
The following primary opportunities were identified and may be accomplished through utilization of plant maintenance resources:
• Reduction of compressed air leaks;
• Improvement in condensate return fraction;
• Reduction of steam leaks;
• Elimination of energized idle equipment;
• Development of a formal energy tracking system; and
• Implementation of an energy conservation program.
The following additional opportunities were identified which will require capital investment:
• Improvement of metering in boiler house;
• Installation of automatic blow down control;
• Installation of blow down heat recovery;
• Installation of duct work to route boiler combustion air from the ceiling;
• Insulation of exposed steam pipes;
• Installation of economizers on thermal oil heaters;
• Reduction of hot water reclaim overflow;
• Installation of effluent heat recovery;
• Installation of tenter humidity control; and
• Implementation of data management and system optimization.
