Reducing energy losses and CO2 emissions

A Monition product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Nov 18, 2004

Condition monitoring surveys are the most practical and cost-effective measure to identify the areas of high-energy loss within manufacturing plant and reduce C)2 emissions..

Monition offers a unique and practical service to reduce Climate Change Levy through a targeted, measurable, predictive maintenance approach.

Climate Change Levy has imposed serious responsibilities on industry.

Organisations now have an urgent need for services that can dramatically reduce their energy losses and CO2 emissions - and we're not just talking about switching off a few lights and turning the central heating down by a couple of degrees.

Monition's condition monitoring surveys are the most practical and cost-effective measure to identify the areas of high-energy loss within your plant.

These are the real sore spots of your operations - the areas causing the biggest drain on your energy resources - and the savings that can be made by rectifying poorly insulated steam pipes, damaged refractory and worn plant equipment are astonishing.

"Consider that just one, 1/8in leak in a compressed air pipe at 100 lb/in2 can add around GBP 1,600 a year to your energy costs - now image the potential for cutting energy expenses throughout an entire site," Mike Burrows, Monition Managing Director.

Undertaken without any contact or interference to plant or process, Monition employs a combination of monitoring technologies, such as: thermography, ultrasonics, tribology and vibration analysis, to identify all areas of plant or pipework that is radiating high-energy loss.

Common symptoms of energy wastage in plant and machinery can include: insufficient/damaged insulation, poor lubrication of moving parts, worn components, shaft misalignment and pipeline fractures.

By determining factors such as pipe pressures, diameters, running speeds, surface areas and ambient temperatures, Monition produce a report detailing exactly how much energy is being lost.

We show you where the losses are occurring and calculate the precise financial costs of these losses for your plant.

Monition's customer-friendly reporting provides you with the information to target your maintenance exactly where it's needed, to justify repair works and expenditure, and to calculate and account for the cost savings achieved.

It costs industry money to waste energy - let Monition's expertise give you the knowledge to reduce your costs and lower your organisation's impact on environmental resources.

In our experience, the majority of medium to large sites will discover that the cost of rectifying poorly insulated pipework and properly maintaining their plant is only a fraction the expense of the energy being wasted annually - projected energy savings over 5 years can run into hundreds of thousands of pounds - and this goes directly to the bottom line!.
