| Executive summary |
| |
PCRA conducted a detailed Energy
Audit Study at a leading Petrochemical company at Pata,UP
during December 2006- March 2007. A team of five specialist
consultants was involved in the energy audit.
The energy audit was mainly targeted at identifying practical,
sustainable and economically viable energy saving opportunities
in all sections of the plant, resulting from a detailed study
and analyses of technical parameters. The energy audit involved
using a wide range of sophisticated, portable, diagnostic
and measuring instruments to generate refined data and facilitate
in complex analyses to give a more reliable basis for evaluation
of energy saving potential and economic viability.
The main energy sources of the plant are electricity and
Natural gas. The plant consumes about 42 Million kWh electrical
units per annum (from the grid), around 240 Million from in-house
and natural gas quantity of 363 Million sm3 per annum.
The detailed energy audit carried out at this industry led to
energy savings of around 88 Million kWh electrical units, which
forms around 3.14 % of the total electrical energy consumption
of 280 Million kWh units presently at the industry . These electrical
savings will result in annual cost savings worth Rs. 629 Lacs
per annum with a one time investment of Rs. 246 Lacs, thus yielding
an overall payback of less than 5 months. Similar findings were
observed in the thermal section. brief of savings identified
is given below: |
