 Description
Efficient engineering practices coupled with effective energy management programs could generate significant energy savings that could amount to more than 40% of the total energy cost of the entire facility. The expertise and knowledge of technology-based energy conservation measures are essential elements in achieving these energy savings.
This course covers fundamentals of industrial energy management and the technical procedures required for assessing energy saving opportunities (ESOs) in equipment and systems found in various industrial facilities. These procedures can be equally applied on existing equipment or systems, or on sizing and selecting new equipment.
Topics are introduced to individuals who have no or little background on the subject while also providing a valuable information resource to personnel having experience with energy management measures. Background in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics required to support the analysis and assessment of the various potential ESOs is covered.
The course includes many case studies and group discussions of ESOs in various industrial applications.
Objectives
- To acquaint course participants with fundamentals of energy management and cost analysis necessary for assessing energy saving opportunities in a wide range of industrial processes.
- To equip course participants with technical procedures required for energy saving decision-making in various industrial facilities.
Who should attend?
Design and project engineers and technologists, energy engineers, plant and facility engineers, consultants, mechanical engineers and technologists, maintenance and operation personnel and other technical personnel who need to gain proper knowledge of energy management and conservation measures at industrial facilities.
