Temperature optimisation

Heat recovery can help to reduce overall energy consumption on-site while reducing total running costs in the bargain. Recovered heat can help you reduce energy consumption or provide useful heat for other purposes. In the food and beverage industry, for example, it is possible to recover heat from...

Excellent recovery! Recovering heat saves on energy and cuts CO2 Results in annual energy efficiency gains (~3.5 %) and less CO2 emissions (~600 000 kg) Carlsberg brewery is an energy-savings front-runner in line with its mission to optimise production and reduce overall CO2 emissions and energy...

Pinch analysis is a systematic approach to analysing heat flow through an industrial process and has been used by industry for almost 30 years as a way of saving energy. The so-called 'pinch' occurs at the closest point between hot and cold streams in the network. Tools are available to visualise...

According to the Carbon Trust, heating can account for as much as 60 % of total energy use, yet a large proportion of the energy consumed by heating is likely to be wasted due to incorrect control settings. Notably, lowering heating temperatures by just 1º C can save 8 % on fuel consumption, and...

Since the 1950s, clean-in-place (CIP) systems have been reliably used to clean inside surfaces of tanks and pipelines in liquid process equipment to avoid costly downtime associated with lengthy dismantling and cleaning tasks. The technique covers a variety of areas, but its main purpose is to...

Long overdue upgrade yields huge savings Upgrading the 30-year-old liquid storage heating system saves nearly € 70 000 in energy costs annually The significant € 335 000 investment could be recuperated in under 5 years Rubber manufacturer from the Czech Republic implemented an energy-saving project...

Measuring and control systems (MCS) are used to automatically control both manufacturing and non-manufacturing processes, including monitoring, visualisation and evaluation. Installation of frequency drives on electric motors, such as variable speed drives (VSD), is a typical industrial MCS measure...
