5 steps to an efficient, sustainable and competitive industry

Nowadays, the industrial sector is constantly improving the efficiency of its installations and processes in order to be much more competitive in the market. Among these improvements, we must not forget the reduction of costs in electricity and heat generation (hot water). We have 3 important legs to obtain savings in electricity and hot water:

• Optimisation of energy bills. Optimisation of power in electricity bills and negotiation of energy prices with suppliers.
• Reduction of energy demand.
• Generation of energy with renewable energies.

To explain the last two in more detail, here are the 5 steps to follow to achieve a more efficient, more sustainable and more competitive industry.

The keys to follow

We must take into account these 5 keys to an efficient industry:

1.- Energy audits, an essential part to carry out an energy analysis of the industry, and to be able to identify what problems exist, and most importantly, how to solve them.

2.- Waste heat, both in air conditioning and in processes in which water or hot air is required, a heat recovery system must be installed for thermal equipment, which, by taking advantage of the surplus heat, we will achieve energy savings, thus reducing the use of primary energies.

3.- Cogeneration, with this technology we can optimise the heating of energy consumption, depending on the type of installation this type of installation may be of interest.

4.- Insulation, energetically the heat losses in tanks and pipes are reduced, this will be positive for energy consumption.

5.- Use of renewable energies, we often wonder if it is worth installing renewable energies in our industry, if it is really profitable and if we do not obtain an amortization of the installation in 20 years.

At abora we recommend installing hybrid solar panels, as savings of up to 50-60% in energy and economic costs can be achieved, with a return on investment of 5 to 7 years. These hybrid panels produce electricity and domestic hot water simultaneously.

Moreover, we are not only saving on the economic side, we are also reducing the emission of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, thus contributing to improving our cities, our planet and our lives.

This type of technology can be installed wherever hot water is used, because all industries consume electricity.

The main types of industries are:

• Hummus
• Broths
• Tomato-based sauces
• Ready meals, vegetable sauces, cream sauces and baby foods
• Oat preparations
• Dairy products (dairy)
• Industrial fruit processing
• Industrial vegetable processing
• Sweet and carbonated beverages
• Olive paste
• Canning
• Laundry
• Waste water treatment
• Biofuel production
• Water for injectables
• Body care

Make your company more competitive.
