Manufacturing - Controls & Efficiency

Background

Complete high temperature process automated with steam production efficiency improved. Site wide metering and monitoring introduced from incoming water and fuel to contaminated effluent discharge monitoring at automotive cloth manufacturer

Solution

• System design for new factory energy centre and process heat to dying of fabric for automotive, fire resistant, cloth manufacturer.

• Boiler and steam accumulator monitoring and centralised control alongside comprehensive water system data acquisition and monitoring reducing operational costs by over 15%.

• Critical effluent contamination level monitoring introduced leading to 80% reduction in effluent charges from local utility supplier based on contamination intervention management.

Outcome

System designed, delivered and commissioned with three months achieving simple payback within 18 months.

Please note - this case study is one of several that highlights the collective experience of our team, drawing on projects completed prior to the formation of Beaverbrook Energy.
