“…The first strategy focuses on treatment of waste gas carrying out heat recovery as a secondary benefit, such as combustion air preheating, building heating, self-energy saving and power generation [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The second strategy aims to increase the power generation by means of optimized parameters [7][8][9], advanced steam cycle [10][11][12], and efficeint heat recovery equipments [13,14].…”

“…A common mistake of energy and environmental auditing is that the adopted approach is too narrow and the focus is only on the utility side, specific technical solutions or computerized control [10]. Research work presented by Lazzarin and Noro [11] besides comprehensive overview of energy efficiency opportunities in the production process of cast iron foundries, also included detailed description of energy audit process. According to [12], there is a need for establishing a novel approach combining the total site, cleaner production and energy efficiency optimisation techniques to increase energy efficiency based on versatile industrial practices.…”

In today’s globalized world, need for competitiveness on one side and constant pressure on the reduction of negative environmental impacts on the other side, are forcing industrial companies to systematically analyse all possibilities for the optimization of their production processes. This paper presents a systematic approach for improving energy efficiency in industrial facilities. Special attention was given to activities that were necessary for the proper identification of energy saving potential and implementation of selected energy efficiency measures in the complex industrial environment. The proposed approach includes four main activities: (1) energy auditing, identification and valorisation of opportunities for improving energy efficiency, (2) identification of key personnel who needs to be trained and motivated to become involved and to make energy efficient decisions in practice, (3) implementation of selected energy efficiency measures and (4) continuous monitoring and verification of achieved results. The proposed approach has been tested in the real industrial environment and the results are confirming that significant energy savings and overall improvement of competitiveness can be reached. Additionally, special emphasis was placed on soft elements like cooperation between energy experts, process operators and maintenance staff that are crucial for the overall success.

“…Ngoài ra, ngành sản xuất kim loại là ngành tiêu thụ nhiều năng lượng cũng như có nhiều tác động tới môi trường. Trong thời gian qua đã có nhiều nghiên cứu về ngành này điển hình như từ chia sẻ kinh nghiệm kiểm toán năng lượng [10] đến đánh giá phát thải CO2 [11][12][13] và đánh giá hiệu quả sử dụng năng lượng [13,14] cũng như các khía cạnh tác động môi trường [15]. Các kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy Mỹ và Trung Quốc là hai nước phát thải CO2 nhiều nhất trong lĩnh vực kim loại [16].…”

The purpose of this article is to develop a framework of a tool for supporting the rapid Cleaner production assessment (CPA) coupling to Energy savings (ES) for the industries. On the basis of the integration of the methods such as Best available techniques (BAT), analysis of technology scheme, material and energy balances etc, this study develops a framework of a tool for rapid assessment comprising of 3 modules: “Input of data”, “Material and energy balances” and “Assessment of potentials for cleaner production and energy savings”. In a case study, a rapid assessment tool for Cleaner production coupling to Energy savings is developed for the metal production industry. The results obtained from the case study shows that the data from material and energy balances are presented fully in the illustrated technology process, and the objects subjected to improvement are identified. There are 150 objects and/or positions needing improvement in which 16 are involved with thermal processess, and the rest are for the electrical motors. The solution for each of these objects is also recomended. The disadvantages of this tool is it is unable to assess the investment cost as well as the return rate of the solutions that could be good points for the further research.
