ESOS Support - Industrial Processes

Industrial Processes
Challenge
The main challenge facing all businesses involved in industrial processes transport is the growing costs, including fuel. staff and equipment. The aim of ESOS is to investigate the options to reduce that spend and save energy.
The Opportunity
Our consultants have worked with over 70 clients and in all examples we were able to identify cost and energy savings. A number of companies have now implemented those options and are realising the actual savings.
Key Service
Compliance
Industrial Processes
One of Europe's largest molasses storage businesses worked with our lead assessor, to become ESOS compliant during Phase 1. The project involved a full review of how the bulk liquid was stored in heated tanks considering start up and shut down of heaters, shift patterns, operating times, inventories, natural gas use, condensate, electricity use, types of pumps, compressors, metered data, condition survey of boilers, pressure gauges, valves, heat recovery, temperature control valves, Positive Displacement (PD) pumps, flow rates for pumps. On completion of the audit and review, CUSUM analysis alongside Sankey Diagrams were used to identify possible cost savings.
As a result of the work, an estimated 12 million kWh of energy could be saved alongside a cot saving of £300,000 per year.

The Opportunity
ESOS will provide you with several opportunities to improve your business and save money. The cost of complying is minimal in comparison to the amount you could save.
In addition ESOS provides you with:
- Identifying where you waste money. The audit identifies and costs energy savings. Most organisations find measures that can payback within a few years.
- Data that feeds other reporting. The same energy data supports Scope 1 and 2 reporting, SECR, carbon reduction plans for public tenders and net zero targets. Done properly, it means collecting the data once rather than several times.
- Actions you can act on. A board director now has to sign off the assessment. That puts energy in front of decision-makers and makes action plans more likely to be funded.
- Steps towards achieving net zero. It will help you longer term to go beyond compliance and set out a credible decarbonisation pathway.
- Risk mitigation. Missing the 5 December 2027 deadline can bring Environment Agency penalties of upto £50,000 and public naming.
