Energy Audit: Case Study of A Wheel Manufacturing Industry

Increase in energy demand globally has forced the energy cost to rise up. One of the major sectors which are responsible for the high energy consumption worldwide is industrial sector. Developing countries like India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan etc are having huge imbalance between the demand and supply of electricity. To drive the growth of nation it is must to reach at the balance point in demand and supply. In industrial sector, commercial buildings we have higher consumption pattern observed, that can be reduced by implementing Energy Conservation Measures. The typical features of any typical industry is determined by the quantity and type of raw materials, its production technology, organization of technical equipment and level of automation. All The above factors add to variation in the using up of special energy carriers. This paper throws light over the consumption of energy profile of a typical wheel rim manufacturing plant. It describes technical, maintenance as well as economical factors that can be applied in a comprehensive analysis to achieve energy efficiency in the confectionery industry to assist the choice of the best available technology.
