Total tightness in industry to maintain energy efficiency
Total tightness focuses on concern for the environment, but not only limited to the economic aspect, but from the perspective of energy efficiency, because future generations will need the resources wasted today.
There is a lot of debate about the future of our planet. Experts from around the world have started to look for alternatives that can reverse global warming and its terrible consequences for the world's climate..
To reduce the volume of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, we need it more than ever stimulate the search for energy efficiency. Non industrial environment, where the Energy waste still reaches significant volumes, We can certainly all contribute a lot, mainly with regard to tightness.
Some companies believe that the cost of wasting energy in their processes is irrelevant, but they don't consider how much this really affects their competitiveness, directly and indirectly, as it reduces its energy efficiency.
A energy efficiency can be achieved through the elimination of stoppages in production processes, through non-emission of energy indirectly to the environment (steam leaks, liquids and raw materials), by maintaining a regular production flow, without interruptions, in addition to the choice of products manufactured to last.
Every production system has a performance curve that only reaches the ideal point at a certain manufacturing rate.. It is this rhythm that guarantees the quality of the product, and whenever it is broken there is loss of raw material, energy.
When production is stopped for routine maintenance, energy consumption does not stop, because most of the time it is not possible to simply turn off the lighting system, the boiler, the compressed air system and others that must operate continuously in the industry. This is all a waste of energy, which leads us to a direct equation: lower maintenance = greater energy efficiency.
By investing in more effective and durable equipment and systems, we will be saving valuable resources in the form of energy, raw materials and inputs, that today seem endless – but they are not. The idea of tightness aims to preserve these resources.
The most important part is the future of our children and grandchildren. Concern for the environment cannot only consider the economic aspect, because future generations will need the same elements that we are wasting today.
Ways to increase energy efficiency in industry:
- Reduce waste;
- Reuse inputs and raw materials;
- Reduce maintenance interventions;
- Stimulate regular production flow, without interruptions.
