Reducing Plant Energy Consumption
Posted in Energy on Thursday, July 23rd, 2015. No comments yetIn an earlier post, Identifying Components then Optimizing Industrial Energy Consumption, we discussed how energy optimization initiatives were affected by what could be measured. Emerson’s Jonas Berge added a great comment to that post, which I will share here to bring it greater visibility. Running fans at excess speed, failed steam traps, fouling, inefficient combustion, […]
Optimizing Energy Consumption with Real-Time Feedback
Posted in Energy on Tuesday, June 9th, 2015. One comment so farAs energy prices slowly creep higher from earlier lows, the need for managing energy usage remains constant for most process manufacturers and producers. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy-Intensive Process Portfolio list processes in the refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, plastics metals, pulp & paper as large energy consumers. In an earlier post, Identifying Components then Optimizing […]
Identifying Components then Optimizing Industrial Energy Consumption
Posted in Energy, Pulp & Paper on Thursday, April 16th, 2015. One comment so farWhen optimizing operating costs at a production facility, the bias is toward that which can be measured. For example, the cost of chemicals additives for a process is something easily measured based upon the amount consumed. For components such as the energy to produce steam, the costs may not be so clear. Emerson’s Barbara Hamilton […]
Managing and Improving Energy Usage
Posted in Energy on Monday, January 12th, 2015. 3 comments so farLast week, we highlighted how energy savings could be achieved through better combustion. Today, let’s look at a way to manage energy consumption throughout a plant or production facility. In this 3:39 video, Energy Advisor from Emerson, Real-Time Energy Monitoring, Emerson’s Barbara Hamilton describes ways to uncover, realize, and document energy efficiency opportunities through the […]
Effectively Managing Energy Consumption
Posted in Energy on Thursday, October 2nd, 2014. 3 comments so farWe grow ever closer to next week’s Emerson Exchange Conference in Orlando and I hope we’ll have the chance to connect if you’ll be joining us. Many of the subject matter experts featured in the posts here on the blog will be there to share their experiences and best practices. And, your peers at other […]
