Efficiency Optimization & Detailed Energy Audit of a Textile industry

Energy conservation has now become a necessity. Considerable energy saving is possible through proper choice of equipments, and their effective use. The-only feasible way to handle energy crisis, apart from capacity addition, is the efficient use of available energy. For this there is a need of optimizing energy, using standard systems and procedures so as to reduce energy requirements per unit of output .In this paper a case study of industry for energy audit is presented. Energy audits don't save money and energy for companies unless the recommendations are implemented. Audit reports should be designed to encourage implementation, but often they impede it instead. The goal in writing an audit report should not be the report itself; rather, it should be to achieve implementation of the report recommendations and thus achieve increased energy efficiency and energy cost savings for the customer. Energy audit is an important tool in transforming the fortunes of any organization. This is highly relevant to the industry as it deals with a renewable energy source and looked upon as rural power house. The scope for conservation is immense and if properly harnessed can take the organization to the path of prosperity. Energy audit becomes all the more important in view of the energy conservation Act 2001 enacted by Government of India and the proposed New provisions. The Result from the Energy audit of a textile industry located in Kim, surat. The Scope of Energy audit in a textile plant should include the study of Improve the Power factor of electrical utilities, replace the faulty capacitor, power saving by lighting management, install voltage stabilizer to reduce power consumption, improve Compressor & Pump efficiency and performance of Steam boiler. This paper consists the details of primary observations along with appropriate recommendation with supporting calculations. Certain areas are identified where there is a potential for saving in energy and measures have also been found for increasing plant productivity. Energy Conservation has been identified as a prime measure for cost reduction. Accordingly, the company has taken several in-house measures for energy savings and achieved substantial energy savings.
