With our structured approach, we optimize the energy and heat consumption of your industrial and commercial facilities
The focus of our analysis always lies on a holistic optimization of energy costs at the process and plant level. In our projects, we analyze the design of the facilities and their operation with a view to improving energy and process heat utilization.
Based on an energy consumption analysis, we collaboratively define with our clients the focus for identifying optimizations, leading to the development of specific measures that are integrated into implementation plans.
- Step 1: Preparation and Data Collection
- Alignment of project scope and setup
- Data collection of processes and operating parameters
- Preparation of energy and mass balances
- Validation with real consumption data
- Step 2: Analysis and Efficiency Evaluation
- Benchmarking of energy parameter
- Calculation of minimum process heat requirement for operation
- Identification of main energy losses
- Evaluation of operating behaviour of the facility or single aggregates, respectively
- Step 3: Indentification of Improvements
Develope specific measures to improve energy and thermal efficiency, such as introducing new technologies or making changes to operational processes. This step is carried out in close coordination with on-site experts.
- Define hands-on improvement measures
- Create ideas to maximize re-use of process heat
- Evaluate technical and economic feasibility
- Validate measures with on-site experts
- Step 4: Prioritization of Improvements and Roadmap Alignment
Together with the customer, the measures are prioritized based on a cost-benefit analysis. A schedule for implementation should ensure that the identified potential is also realized.
- Prioritization of optimizations
- Integration into realization roadmap
- Ressource and invest planning with management
- application for funding and grants
Certified Consulting
We are authorized to carry out energy audits in accordance with DIN 16247. We are also certified as internal auditors for energy management systems in accordance with DIN 50001. This allows us to carry out a well-founded energy assessment for our customers, as required by the Energy Efficiency Act EnEfG or the Energy Services Act EDL-G.
More information on heat stream optimization via pinch analysis?
For many of our customers with high process heat requirements, heat flow analysis using pinch analysis is an essential part of our projects. This process was developed in the early 1980s. Since then, it has become established in practice as a method for improving the use of process heat. The application can show where heat energy is lost unnecessarily and how it can be used sensibly.
Acquisition of funding
In the context of our projects, we collaborate with our clients to identify measures that reduce the energy consumption of their facilities. The implementation of these measures can often be supported through government programs. Upon request, we assist our clients in clarifying eligibility for funding and preparing the necessary application documents.
In specific cases, we have directly handled the application for funding for our clients’ optimization projects without prior optimization of the entire plant.
