| Summary: | Increasing energy prices and high labor costs made a plant manager think of possibilities to save costs. A green production plant should be optimized in order to reduce production costs, increase the output and fulfill newest emission regulations. The solution was a completely new designed system. Heated suction hoods at the mixers and a ductwork system with preheating to avoid condensation. The effect was zero cleaning, which saves time and increases the availability of the whole plant. A central fume treatment was installed with a thermal oxidizer as main part. The resulting energy is used for preheating of the fumes and the production of heat for the process, which reduces the energy consumption dramatically. The paper shows the technical solution and the numbers of savings in detail. |
