How DMT ENCOS improves the technical and economic energy aspects of your projects
The initial question in every project is: What is the goal? Once this has been defined, the next crucial question arises: How can this goal be achieved in a technically and financially efficient manner? Improving energy efficiency is a key lever here - especially in complex industrial plants.
Customized energy efficiency studies - well-founded and practical
DMT ENCOS has decades of experience in conducting energy efficiency studies in the process industry. Our interdisciplinary teams of experts not only analyze symptoms, but also get to the root cause with the aim of achieving sustainable ecological and economic benefits for your plant.
We also take into account innovative technologies such as the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for the use of low-temperature waste heat and the optimization possibilities offered by vapour recompression in thermal processes.
Practical examples from our engineering practice
Heat integration starts at the source
Before we design heat exchangers for heat integration, we check whether the process parameters themselves can be optimized. This allows energy to be saved right from the start, while at the same time reducing investment costs.
In addition, we analyze the waste heat potential for example for recovery via ORC systems and thus create new utilization possibilities even from low temperature levels.
System optimization before replacing components: a holistic approach to efficiency
Replacing a motor with a more energy-efficient model makes sense - but it is even more effective to first scrutinize the design of the entire pump. Significant savings can often be achieved through simple adjustments.
The targeted use of vapour recompression also offers considerable efficiency potential in evaporation processes for example by reducing the live steam requirement and improving heat utilisation.
Long-term efficiency through monitoring & KPI management
In addition to planning and implementation, we also take on the ongoing monitoring of your energy efficiency. Using defined key performance indicators (KPIs), we detect deviations from the target status at an early stage - e.g. due to contamination, wear or process changes - and initiate targeted measures.
