Conserve valuable resources and optimize utility costs

Learn how Endress+Hauser’s Energy Monitoring Solutions can provide efficient energy management at your plant

Measurement technology for steam generation and distribution process
Introduction

Why is energy management important in your plant?

Efficient production depends primarily on managing energy consumption and its associated costs. Accurate assessments and effectively reducing future energy consumption requires continuous monitoring, recording and visualization of these values.

Heating, cooling, steam, and compressed air plants represent highly energy-intensive systems. With costs continually rising, and in certain industrial sectors, where energy expenses make up to 40% of total production costs, prioritizing energy optimization becomes a crucial concern. At the core of any optimization effort lies the meticulous recording of energy flows, a familiar responsibility for the Energy or Sustainability Manager within a company. Energy Management Systems encompass the strategic planning and operational control of energy generation and consumption. The overarching objectives are resource conservation, climate protection, and cost reduction, all achieved while ensuring the fulfillment of energy requirements.

Key benefits of implementing our solutions

Energy Monitoring Solutions help you to overcome challenges and provide added such as:

Ensure compliance

Many industries are subject to environmental regulations imposed by governments or industry bodies. ISO 14001 helps companies comply with these regulations by providing a framework for managing environmental responsibilities. ISO 50001 assists companies in meeting energy management regulations and standards. Implementing energy management systems (EMS) can help companies identify opportunities for reducing energy consumption, waste generation, and resource usage.

Maximize efficiency rate

Steam boilers are often used in industrial processes to generate steam for heating, power generation, or other applications. Maximizing efficiency reduces fuel consumption, conserving energy resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Burning fuels in boilers releases pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter into the atmosphere. By increasing boiler efficiency, companies can reduce their environmental footprint by lowering emissions per unit of output.

Reduce leakage and unaccounted losses

Unaccounted losses and leakage represent wasted energy, which translates to unnecessary expenses for the company. By identifying and addressing these losses through an energy monitoring system, companies can reduce operational costs and improve their bottom line. By reducing leakage and unaccounted losses, companies can lower their environmental footprint, mitigating their impact on the environment and contributing to sustainability efforts.

Enhance data management

Enhanced data management allows for better collection, organization, and analysis of energy-related data from various sources within industrial processes. By analyzing this data, companies can identify patterns, trends, and inefficiencies in energy usage, enabling them to target areas for improvement. Advanced data management systems enable real-time monitoring of energy consumption and production metrics.
