£78.7k pa potential savings identified

Summary

JRP Solutions were appointed by Fort Vale Engineering to carry out an ESOS audit of their two UK manufacturing sites The two sites selected for audit accounted for 100% of the consumption across the whole of the Fort Vale organisation

The total consumption for the reference period was 9,226.8 MWh, equating to a cost of £633.7K, of this gas consumption was 2,704.3 MWh and electricity consumption was 6,522.5 MWh.

JRP’s analysis of the manufacturing sites revealed the significant energy uses to be:

• Local exhaust ventilation (LEV)
• Wax pressing
• Lighting
• Compressed air
• Hot water tank heating

Following a detailed investigation of these areas, recommendations were made for energy savings measures for each, including:

• Installation of a differential pressure control system to the bag blowing compressed air feed
• Installation of a control system to link the hydraulic power packs directly to the operation and demand for the wax presses.
• Installation of lids on the hot water tanks

Results

JRP’s ESOS report identified opportunities which if implemented would total utility savings of 977.1 MWh pa, equating to a cost saving of £78.7K These had associated total implementation costs of £87.2K, giving a simple payback of 1.1 years
