2. Energy Conservation
• Efficient Utilization of energy resources
ensuring the same level of industrial
activity with lesser inputs of energy
• 50 % of total commercial energy in
India is consumed by industrial sector
• Estimated energy conservation
potential of 25-30% exists in industrial
sector
3. Energy Conservation Approach
• Energy Audit
• New Efficient Technologies
• High Capacity Utilization
• Better Maintenance Practices
• Good House-Keeping Measures
4. Energy Audit
• Serves to identify all of the energy
streams into a facility
• Quantify energy use of the energy
streams into a facility
• Eg: Type of energy used as Natural
Gas, Coal, LDO-Low density oil
5. Types of Energy Audit
• Preliminary energy audit
• Detailed energy audit
6. Preliminary Energy Audit
• Focuses on major energy supplies and
demands
• Preliminary data gathering and analysis
effort
• Identification of obvious sources of
energy wastage
• Duration- 2 to 10 days
7. Detailed Energy Audit
• Questionnaire
• Data collection –Conduct formal
interview
• Data analysis –Database Development
• Tests conducted
• Examination of electrical systems
• Duration- 1 to 10 weeks
8. Energy Management
• North India
• CTC method uses only 3 sets of rollers
• South India
• CTC method uses 5 sets of rollers
9. Energy conservation in Tea
factory
• Furnace –Air leak in the furnace should
be avoided
• Furnace oil – Temp is maintained in the
range of 95 -105 deg C for good
atomization
10. Types of Energy
• Thermal Energy – 90 % -removal of
moisture
• North India- Coal & Natural gas
• South India -Firewood
• Electrical Energy -10% - Cutting –
Electrical/diesel generator
