Energy Audit of a Glass Manufacturing Unit
HSIL Limited, AGI Glaspac, Bhongir
- ≈ 5%
- Energy saving potential identified
- ≈ 5.5%
- Energy cost saving identified
Challenge
The brief
A container glass manufacturing unit needed an independent assessment of plant-wide energy performance covering both thermal and electrical systems, with opportunities quantified for investment decisions.
Assessment
What we did
A comprehensive energy audit of the facility was carried out, covering furnace and thermal systems, compressed air, pumping, fans, refrigeration and the electrical distribution network.
Findings
What the data showed
- Utility system losses concentrated in compressed air generation and distribution
- Equipment operating away from best efficiency point in pumping and fan circuits
- Opportunities in electrical distribution and process utility optimisation
Recommendations
What we recommended
- Energy Conservation Measures prioritised by investment requirement and payback
- Utility system operating philosophy changes with no or low capital cost
- Monitoring of specific energy consumption at section level
