energy conservation & efficiency
Improvements in energy efficiency will reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, save money and contribute to the competitiveness of your business.
Keeping an energy-intensive plant running at optimal efficiency makes a significant contribution to a company's bottom line, and the environment. Given the soaring prices of fuels and global warming, increasing the efficiency of energy use in the industrial sector has never been more critical.
Effective energy management does more than reduce costs and increase profitability; it can drive the whole business towards improving performance of production, operations, and maintenance schedules.
E2M, much more than an audit
Conventional energy audits or surveys generally take a 'snapshot' of the energy situation in a facility to identify possibilities for improved efficiencies but do not take into consideration many of the variables and changes over time.
Most of these audits do not go into the specific detail or analysis. More often they will report that there is potential for energy saving projects rather than stipulate a particular course of action or give sufficient information to justify investment or specific changes. Audits may serve a purpose but generally not in the continuous optimization of an industrial system.
For instance, what if your business decides to halve production for three months, or open a new production line. All previous assumptions are worthless.
Unlike the classic energy or sustainability consultants who focus on such audits, Metro Power will methodically determine how the efficiencies of your system vary in real time by consistently analysing plant operational data and using proprietary E2M smart tools to help identify sustainable improvements.
To do this, E2M will interrogate your process control system (or historian/database) to provide real-time analytics - tonnes processed, the ambient temperature, power used, gas used, widgets produced, what motors were running, the pressures & flows across the site etc - and identify cost saving opportunities on an ongoing basis. Real-time analysis means any changes in production and environmental conditions at your site won't affect the accuracy of results.
This multivariable (hybrid) statistical model is the baseline knowledge to understand, guide & successfully improve the energy efficiency of your business. E2M can save your business thousands of dollars (and greenhouse gas emissions), with no disruption to your business. Our point of difference : we make 'energy efficiency' a reality.
Allow us to turn your real-time production and energy data into business intelligence to give your organisation greater efficiencies and a competitive edge.
