Systematic Approach for Energy Saving in Textile Industry: A Case Study on Energy Audit

Energy is the key point of all the processes in the world and this energy is available in many forms and utilized in any way as per the requirement. But the availability of some type of energy is not infinite however as well as high cost of fuels resulted in more activities to conserve energy to maximum extent. Continuous energy audit and process tracking is most important for reducing energy consumption to achieve energy security, energy independency and sustainable develop of individual as well as of the nation. Textile industries have higher involvement of energy uses in various processes and plant and also so much energy losses due to insufficient/ ineffective technologies. This present study mainly focused on one Textile industry to execute energy audit to find out possible reason of energy wastage. Main target is to recover or save the energy used in Boiler section by means of controlling Air-Fuel ratio (amount of excess air). From this study, we can obviously say that there is great impact of amount of air required for combustion in the energy utilization in boiler.
