Energy Utilization Improvement: Production Energy Monitoring and Management Plan
● Background
Food processing and manufacturing enterprises require a large amount of steam in the production process, which is used for distillation, sterilization, maturation, hot water, steaming, drying, baking, cleaning, and other processes. Among them, steam cost accounts for at least 13% of the total cost of food processing enterprises. Therefore, in order to control costs and improve efficiency, food processing enterprises need to monitor and manage the use of steam to avoid waste and reduce costs.
In addition, some small-scale food processing enterprises often purchase steam from large gas consumers in the surrounding or factory areas due to their low steam consumption. In this case, it is necessary to install steam flowmeters in the workshop of the factory to calculate the gas cost of different workshops, to ensure accurate calculation and settlement of the purchased steam consumption and expenses, and to improve the utilization rate of steam and reduce waste.
● Steam flow monitoring and management plan
1. Installation and monitoring of steam flowmeters
Install industrial steam flowmeters in the steam usage process of food processing enterprises to monitor the flow and usage of steam in real-time. Steam flowmeters can be installed in different stages of use, such as distillation, sterilization, and maturation, to obtain steam usage data for each stage.
2. Data acquisition and transmission system
The data collection of the steam flowmeter is transmitted to the central monitoring platform or data server through an automated control system. This allows real-time access to the steam consumption of each link and the steam consumption of each workshop.
3. Data analysis and report generation
Process steam usage data through data analysis software to generate real-time steam usage reports. These reports can display steam usage, time distribution, peak usage, etc. in different workshops, helping enterprises better understand steam usage status.
4. Cost accounting and cost control
Calculate the cost of steam usage in different workshops based on the steam rate. This helps food processing enterprises to accurately understand the steam costs of different workshops, conduct cost accounting, and effectively control costs.
5. Efficiency optimization and energy-saving measures
By analyzing steam usage data, the peak and low periods of steam usage can be identified. During low periods, enterprises can adjust their production plans appropriately to reduce energy costs.
6. Gas cost accounting and settlement (applicable to enterprises purchasing steam)
For small-scale food processing enterprises, if purchasing steam, steam flowmeters can be installed in the workshop to calculate the gas cost of different workshops. This helps to ensure accurate calculation and settlement of the amount and cost of steam purchased.
● Program features
