Energy audit to comply with the requirements of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, ESOS

Summary

This speciality chemicals and sustainable technologies company appointed JRP Solutions to carry out an ESOS audit of their UK estate of 23 sites Of these, 6 accounted for over 90% of energy consumption across the whole of the organisation and were audited All other sites and transport were excluded as de minimis..

The greatest energy savings opportunities were found at a combined heat and power (CHP) plant.

Other key opportunities identified were:

Insulation of all bare measures of pipe work
Hot water heat recovery
Installation of decentralised CHP
Installation of a decentralised CHP plant
Replace electric heaters with steam and LTHW for coating dryers
Repair compressed air leaks
Pump optimisation
Furnace optimisation
Replace steam heating systems with gas heating systems
Heat recovery from factory processes for space heating
Improved utility metering
Install VSD drives to LEV fans
Upgrade lighting
Compressor replacement upgrades

Results

If all opportunities at all sites were implemented (excluding the complete replacement of the CHP plant) a saving of nearly 14,500 MWh could be expected, equating to just under £1.2m. The cost of implementing these projects is predicted to be £1.5m, and has an average payback of 0.8 years.
