Benchmarks & Client Cases
Energy Efficiency
in the Food Industry
The Challenge
Electricity and Natural Gas consumption
Problem
• Average water consumption of 0,12 m³ per ton produced
• Average electricity consumption of 40,7 kWh per ton produced
• Average gas consumption of 335,6 kWh per ton produced
Root Causes
• Limited visibility of detailed information related to the consumption of steam, electricity and raw materials
• Lack of detailed information to enable the launch of effective countermeasures to correct deviations in equipment consumption
The Solution
Condenser Recovery
Daily countermeasure routine
• Continuous in-line measurement of electricity, steam and raw material consumption. These measurements will serve as the basis for the costing model and parameterization of products in the system
• Visibility of detailed consumption data in a visual format. This data is analyzed as part of a daily routine which includes the definition of countermeasures
• Condenser recovery through maintenance and replacement of equipment and components
The Results
The project generated annual savings of $267,000 per year.
Electricity Consumption
Electricity consumption reduced by 6%.
Natural Gas Consumption
Natural gas consumption reduced by 8%.
