KeelWit analyzes energy consumption improvement possibilities at a municipal solid waste plant
KeelWit has commenced a study of the entire process of collection, waste handling, separation and final energy generation at Municipal Solid Waste Facility, given that the industry has a major component of thermal energy in its process. Recycling processes involve high temperatures and a complex heat recovery system, ash management and combustion control, due to the heterogeneous nature of municipal solid waste. Any process in which high temperatures are reached and large volumes of materials are involved is usually susceptible to energy consumption improvements, better use of residual heat, performance enhancements and a new set point definition of its KPIs. These improvements can be achieved by changes in production volumes (downwards or upwards) that, over the years, have displaced actual operating conditions from initial set points. All ovens, Heat Recovery System Generators, turbines, absorbers, filters, catalytic tanks and chimneys are a perfect environment for applying the KeelWit Energy Methodology of Optimization...

KeelWit concludes project on energy efficiency improvements in an industrial plant
KeelWit has concluded a project designed to improve energy efficiency at a chemical plant, through several changes made to the main processes of the plant. After a comprehensive analysis of its pirotubular boilers, thermo compressors/ejectors and condensers, areas of improvement were identified and evaluated, priorities established and suppliers selected for the implementation of the enhancement plan. The final project results will bring a substantial reduction in vapour, gas and power consumption and a Return On Investment within less than 1...

Energy efficiency project for a chemical plant
KeelWit has started a new project for the improvement of energy efficiency in the production process of a chemical plant, world leader in its industry. The study seeks the thermal flow optimization of several lines within the process, allowing the improvement of the energy efficiency of the whole process and reducing the energy required per ton produced. Some of the tasks included are finding the hottest flows in the process that can interchange their heat with colder flows, minimizing the energy required to heat the latter through Heat Recovery Systems....Latest news
