2014 - 15 conferences

At Schneider’s Software Global Customer Conference, Aena's for 'Smart City Management' of 46 Airports across Spain, using the Wonderware System Platform was presented. This was an example of integration of over 1 million different signals coming from a myriad of sub-systems being effectively managed in a common way to ensure uptime, security, and energy efficiency.

International Paper’s story was about improving energy efficiency by integrating sensor-based information in combination with SimSci, Schneider’s advanced process control software.

At the Emerson Global User Exchange,  the session on "Enabling Water & Energy Reductions Through Expanded Utility Metering"  was there. A presentation was made by the system integrator and Emerson on how they implemented an energy management project for a major beverage manufacturer. The team implemented a facility-wide monitoring system that included monitoring steam, condensate, water, liquid ammonia, and plant air that span four separate business units. A Peruvian mining company presented on how they were able to control the total load of air used on their processes, mainly on flotation cells while reducing the amount of energy used to pump the air into the plant. The Galloway Company, a dairy firm saved $120,000 annually in sewer costs by increasing the reliability and accuracy of measurement with modern connected technology.

At the GE Intelligent Platforms 2014 User Summit there were also numerous examples of how companies have used GE’s SmartSignal and CSense products to process data from IoT-connected sensors to improve energy and utility performance. Jeff Immelt gave  keynote address. Speakers from companies like Kimberly Clark, Summer Garden Foods, Duke Energy, and GE Transportation and GE’s jet engine group, gave examples on how they are using the data available from the IoT with the analytic capabilities of CSense and SmartSignal to save  billions of dollars.

2012 and Before


Some case study results - 2012 Seminar

The program generated an energy savings of $ 8.8 million  in 2011  - Saudi Aramco

THES earned an incentive of $250,000 by advising Cadbury in energy savings in ammonia system control project.


Two energy projects required $1.1 million of capital and saved $1.0 million in utility steam
annually - Honeywell Chemical plant, Hopewell, Virginia


All plant utility systems were modeling and evaluating all plant utility systems  identified cost reduction opportunities or more than $5 million. - TPG Group Houston Operations

Energy Conservation Tips from Forbes Mashall

http://www.forbesmarshall.com/EnergyConservation.aspx?id=168


By a rule of thumb, every 5 Deg C drop in air temperature at the inlet of an air compressor reduces the energy consumption by 1%. Thus the air inlet for compressors should be taken from a cooler point.
