Appropriate auditing and design leads to energy efficiency and security: CHP in industrial drying

The cost for energy is among the most crucial aspects in the process industry, and so is power quality. How to set up appropriate solutions towards a reliable energy supply at a reduced cost will be the focus of this webinar.

Energy audits are the right approach to any appropriate energy efficient solution in industry. The purpose of the energy audit is to achieve a thorough understanding of the real behaviour and consumption profiles. The complete cycle of an audit may take some time, and it is divided into four main phases: 1. Preliminary meetings (pre-audit). 2. As-is data collection. 3. Field activities (direct measurement campaigns). 4. Detailed analysis and proposals for action with related economics.

For many industrial players investing directly in energy efficiency solutions may divert resources from their core business. For this reason an Energy Service Company (ESCo), besides sharing its knowledge and advice, takes its own risk by bringing finance to such projects via the so-called Energy Performance Contracts (EPC). In an EPC the energy performance is guaranteed, and the return on the investment is ensured by the savings. In this view, a case study will be illustrated regarding an innovative CHP solution integrated in an industrial drying process, together with a complex system for ensuring a constant and good quality power supply, disregarding grid downtimes.

If you are running an industrial process and are sensitive towards power quality and energy cost this webinar is for you.
