The SysEne team carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the facility’s historical records, operations, and equipment. Coupling these observations with existing process data, they were able to establish a baseline profile for the facility’s energy usage and GHG emissions.
During a site visit, senior engineers meticulously inspected the operations and equipment in action and had in-depth discussions with the operations and maintenance staff. Following this groundwork, potential strategies for reducing energy costs and GHG emissions were identified and benchmarked against similar facilities to gauge their effectiveness. Measures evaluated ranged from improving the sequencing of unit operations to identifying and replacing damaged burner nozzles, and optimizing the efficiency of inlet air ductwork.
Finally, from the range of identified measures, the list was streamlined and refined to highlight the seven most economically feasible and effective solutions resulting in the identification of close to 50% in potential GHG Emissions reductions.
