1 The First Step Minimize Waste and Losses via Diligence [Pg.482]

In reality, steam generated in the boiler house is distributed through an extensive network of steam pipelines to end users. The losses in steam distribution can be as high as 10-30% of fuel fired in boilers. Hence, the net boiler efficiency could be 10-30% lower from the user s point of view. [Pg.482]

2 The Second Step Effective Energy Use via Optimizing Operation [Pg.482]

Early action should be taken in closing the overall energy performance gap to optimize operations. This is because operation improvement can be implemented quickly with little investment. Optimizing operations is to operate a process in the most energy-efficient manner via exploring synergetic interactions and running key [Pg.482]

By implementing operation opportunities at the early stage, it can boost engineers conhdence for implementing other improvement ideas. More importantly, the benefit captured creates a financial budget to pay off other investment projects for energy saving. [Pg.483]
