2.4 Energy Studies

Pinpointing thermal and utility system inefficiencies: • Heat Integration & Pinch Analysis: Advanced pinch methodology maximizing heat recovery between process streams. • Utility System Optimization: Steam, power, fuel, and water balance identifying distribution losses. • Equipment Performance: Furnaces, heaters, heat exchangers, and chillers evaluated for individual and collective efficiency. • Energy Baselines & Benchmarking: Establishing historical energy baselines against industry peer facilities. • Real-Time Monitoring: Plant-wide energy dashboards tracking KPIs continuously.

• Chiller Operation Optimization (COP): Maximizing coefficient of performance and reducing power consumption. • Combustion Optimization (COMBUST): Minimizing fuel-air ratios in captive boilers and furnaces. • Heat Exchanger Optimization (TACIT™): Monitoring fouling and supporting proactive heat recovery.
