Plant Energy Audit

The following items are covered in a Plant Energy Audit.

Is the aggregate dryer burner burning efficiency and are the drying costs reasonable for the local moisture and aggregate conditions?

Is the aggregate dryer flighting package operating effectively?

Are there opportunities for improvement in aggregate drying costs?

Is the hot oil heater burning efficiently?

Is there opportunity for energy savings related to the hot oil heating system?

Is the plant a candidate for energy savings relating to VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) applications?

Is the plant a candidate for energy savings relating to PFRC (Power Factor Reducing Capacitor) applications?

Are there energy savings possible through plant scheduling changes?

A detailed energy audit form is used along with a combustion analyzer, and an executive summary of findings and recommendations is issued.Energy Audits are faster than Full Plant Reviews.

It is possible to execute two Energy Audits in one day if plants are in close proximity, but it is best to plan on a full day per plant to be safe.
