Utility and Industry Energy Conservation is for utility
and industrial plant engineers and supervisors involved
in the heat rate performance and/or efficiency of plant
operations. Course covers the implementation of in-house
energy conservation programs and the methodologies used
to improve overall plant efficiency. Plant energy audits,
load shifting and project planning are discussed.
Energy Efficiency in Process Industry
focuses primarily on the use of Pinch Analysis for bringing
about reductions in energy use (of the order of 25% to over
50%) in process industry. This technique is applicable across
a wide range of industries such as petroleum refining, petrochemicals,
pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing, food processing,
pulp and paper, and any other material transformation industry,
without requiring modification of the basic industrial process.
Efficiency gains take place in the auxiliary utilities:
heating, cooling, steam cycles, refrigeration, electric
power use and/or generation. Financial benefits come in
the form of reduced operating costs for energy and other
utilities and capital investments for heat exchangers. Environmental
benefits include reduced water use and discharges, and decreased
air emissions. Workshop covers energy efficiency principles,
models for heat and power analysis, applications to process
equipment, efficient design and configuration of heat exchangers,
evaporators, distillation columns, dryers, and related equipment,
cogeneration, energy monitoring and planning. One-day Upper
Management workshop is followed by a 2-week technical workshop
for technically qualified persons responsible for plant
improvements such as engineering, plant and operations managers,
and those responsible for Total Quality Management.
Energy Efficiency in Process Industries
is management-level training designed to provide participants
from the public and private sector with a comprehensive
overview of the best available approaches for promoting
energy efficiency in process industries.
