PCRA Energy Audit Overview and Impact

PCRA was formed in 1976 in response to the 1973 oil crisis to promote oil conservation in India. It conducts energy audits of major energy consuming sectors such as industry, transport, agriculture, commercial buildings, and domestic, which account for 71% of India's energy consumption. Through energy audits, PCRA identifies opportunities to optimize fuel and energy usage, reduce consumption, and spread these benefits to entire industrial clusters. Major audits conducted since 2001 achieved annual energy savings ranging from 2-22% in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, steel, and automotive.

PHILOSOPHY OF ENERGY AUDIT

 Through energy audit, we optimize the consumption of


fuel i.e. coal, electricity petroleum products etc.
 To spread the benefits obtained through Energy Audit

in any one industry to entire cluster


 To replicate the benefit obtained through Energy Audit
in other industries through Education Campaign and
ITPs
 Sponsor R &D projects identified from Energy Audit.

 Energy is an Emotion more than Knowledge

• The T&D losses in Mumbai, Calcutta & Delhi


are 10-11%, 18-19% & 30% respectively. In
certain states it is 50%

• Russia took 12 years to ratify Kyoto Protocol

• USA is not convinced yet to ratify Kyoto

 Drinking water extraction in future may use oil
drilling like technology and vast process plants to
make the water potable.

 Where is the energy for this future?

Energy & Resources

 All of us believe today that Air is Free. Will


it follow the route of Drinking Water in
future?

 For combustion and release of energy, air is


as important as fuel if not more. How many
of us measure and control the combustion
process in totality ?.

 How many of us check the air filter vis-à-

PCRA’s Mixed Experience
 Enlightened industry is employing OEMs &
Technology suppliers to do Energy Audit at regular
intervals

 MNCs are conducting Energy Audits of their


vendor’s units over decades

 Tea, Salt & Chemical Industry using water


circulators or thermic fluid heaters to preheat air as a
via media

23
PCRA’s Mixed Experience

 Hotels are generating hot water from DG set hot


flue gas. Hotels are using boilers to generate steam
and run vapour absorption refrigeration systems

 A very enlightened salt industry using vacuum


flash for drying salt. Producing pure water &
conserving ground water. A two in one salt
manufacture cum desalination! Or is it Three in
One?

24
PCRA’s Mixed Experience

 Some industries still are ignorant and


secretive. Unwilling to allow the energy
auditors to see the process, plant, quality
control deptt etc. They still believe energy
conservation is on boiler floor and motor
drives only

25
PCRA’s Mixed Experience
 The garbage collector’s van getting filled fastest.
Sometimes some houses remain uncollected. The
garbage collector wades through the traffic in
search of easy / quick dumping grounds. Now the
house holder is waiting in advance for the
garbage collector to deposit / dispose off his
consumption.

 An increasing tendency of the industry to consume


wood in boilers/ furnaces in place of oil/ coal

26

27
PCRA’s Experience
 PCRA does the scoping study, meeting &
discussing with people, process study, equipment
wise study, literature study etc before detailed
energy audit. In a way we establish full
communication by knowing the language of the
industry.

 In a textile spinning mill the exhaust fans were of


overcapacity compared to inlet fans

28
PCRA’s Experience

Selection of suitable number of inlet fans,


water spray pumps, exhaust fans along with
relative humidity measurement saved 2.5
lacs KWh/Annum

29
PCRA’s Experience

 Air compressor appears to follow 80:20


principle. It delivers only 20% effective output
and wastes 80% of the input. Due to

- Deteriorated performance of internals


- Compressed air leaks
- Air pressure selection
- Single stage operation

30
PCRA’s Experience

 - Inter stage coolers


- cooling Water Treatment
- Cooling Tower Performance
- Pressure drop

31
PCRA’s Experience
- In a dry cell manufacturing plant one of
the four compressors could be stopped
- 5% of the electricity generated in the country
runs air compressors
 In a foundry the used sand of moulds is recycled
after removal of organic binders and flux. The dryer
used for this purpose was kept over fired to be on the
safe side. An appreciation of quality measurement of
fresh and recycled sands reduced the fuel
consumption.

 A steam less dairy that uses only hot water


circulation. No boiler, no [Link] dairy
does not have milk powder in the product
mix

33
PCRA’s Experience
 Optimizing refrigeration loads in a dairy.
20% of refrigeration loads were reduced by

- off peak operation of refrigeration for


ice build up in IBT

- Sequencing of IBT operation & avoid


unnecessary ice build up with respect
to stocks & expected inputs

34
PCRA’s Experience
- Control of ice build up to maximum 2 inch

- Automatic instrumentation for heating


and chilling to avoid over heating / fouling
& over chilling/ too low suction pressure.

- optimum insitu cleaning to improve


regeneration efficiency. Save
water/chemicals too

35
PCRA’s Experience

- Monitoring and adjusting cooling tower


for the rated range and approach. This
alone controls the Discharge Pressure of
the compressor

- Calculate regeneration efficiency in every


shift. Aim for 90%

36
PCRA’s Experience
 In a Mirinda Orange Drink Plant found that it’s CO2
absorption requirement was half compared to exotic Coco-
Cola. Higher temperature of chilling for the desi drinks are
enough. Different energy settings for different product mix.

 In a latex plant the OEM has set the chiller at +6 0 C of


product temperature. The process needed higher
temperature of 16 0 C! In operation, the product was shock
chilled and allowed to thaw!! A good example of energy
conservation at the interface of the equipment and process.
The machine needs reset for a product outlet temp of 16 0 C.

37
PCRA’s Experience

 An FMCG major was connected from an


agricultural feeder. The voltage fluctuation
causing recurrent disruptions. They were
running DG sets at 20% load factor and
disconnected the EB feeder. Suggested lock
rotor protection/ re-acceleration after carrying
equipment wise no load / part load/ full load
readings. The EB feeder was revived. DG set
shutdown.

38
PCRA’s Experience

 In an asbestos plant, the asbestos, cement and fly


ash slurry is processed in a vacuum drum filter for
required thickness of sheets. The vacuum pump
discharge temperature is 80 0 C. Suggested to
utilize this waste heat to dry the sheets and reduce
fuel firing and electricity

Amazing, is it not?
Lot of low lying fruits!
