With a completely independent team of suppliers, Figener can carry out energy efficiency studies in several industrial and energy sectors. Studies can be divided into the following steps:
For whom the study is recommended:
Industries from the most diverse branches containing:
- Furnaces / Dryers / Boilers of the most diverse types.
- Complex Cool Water and Cooling Plants.
- Pumping / Ventilation Systems.
- Steam Systems.
- Cogenerations.
- Thermoelectric Plants.
- Shopping Centers (Malls, Large Commercial Buildings), usually HVAC / cogeneration systems.
When:
- New industries (during the projects, many equipments are oversized, making them operate in points with low inefficiency).
- Industries with more than 10 years of operation (usually with more obsolete equipment).
- Installations where production has been reduced.
Objectives:
- Retrofit Assessment of Existing Equipment.
- New Equipment Installation Evaluation.
- Evaluation of Fuel Replacement.
- Reduction of Atmospheric Emissions and / or Effluents (liquid and solid).
FIGENER differentials:
- Figener is a company totally free of suppliers or technologies. Thus, the studies are not focused on selling equipment or systems.
- The calculations are performed with a global view of the process, not just checking the impact of a certain equipment. Example: for cogeneration studies, FIGENER develops models for the entire cycle (boiler / turbine / reducers / pumps) to calculate savings.
For that, FIGENER has:
- Specialists who perform BMEs (mass and energy balances) customized for each system.
- Adequate tools to aid calculations (PowerFNESS, FNESS and various spreadsheets).
- Figener is prepared to perform highly complex measurements.
- Data analysis in order to evaluate different operating conditions (low / medium / high load).
