Abstract
In the recent years, many scientific and technical knowledge has been developed. The combination of this knowledge with the operational excellence generates significant gains in terms of quality, production and efficiency. In this paper are described energy efficiency projects for industrial process. The gains can be created at different levels : improve or change the component with clean technologies, control process level, by the recovery of renewed energy, by mixing the three previous points. The key success factors of an energy efficiency project are: rigorous expertise including the specific production and quality constraints, establishment of the decision matrix based on the criteria by the operational and the expert, implementation of the solutions, and performance verification. This article shows some results in the improvement of the energy efficiency processes. 32% of energy saving on heat treatment furnace (new combustion equipment and new heating curves) and 10% of reduction in specific fuel consumption by implementing a process model. When the maximum efficiency is reached at the process level, then waste heat is valorized as renewed energy source. Examples are shown where the heat from the fumes is transferred to another process or to generate electricity by Rankine cycles. Innovative solutions to recover heat from hot solid product are also shown. The methods (technological or business model) are applicable to all intensive process industries.
