Solution:
- Working with mill engineers, a number of likely pump candidates were selected from across the mill.
- A three day on site assessment was performed on various pumps across the mill.
- A detailed report was completed with the anticipated energy savings and recommendations on how to realize those savings.
|
Results:
- Recommended efficiency improvements for 23 pumps with a project energy and maintenance savings of $1.067 million on an investment of $591,000.
- The mill challenged the anticipated energy savings by doing their own calculations. They found the anticipated savings to be very accurate.
- VFDs were initially implemented on 5 applications with a yearly energy savings in excess of $102,000.
- Additional cost savings were realized for impoved MTBF.
