Abstract
This paper presents a preliminary analysis of energy usage and energy savings opportunities in two targeted manufacturing plants, Plant A and Plant B by optimizing their pump systems. Plant A is a manufacturer of Examination Nitrile Powder Free Glove, located in Johor, meanwhile Plant B is a cement manufacturing plant located in Sarawak, Malaysia. Pumping System Assessment Tools (PSAT), is used to assess the efficiency of pumping system operations and to assist in preliminary assessments on the efficiency of the pumping system operation. Annual savings potential for the existing performance of the system can be compared with the optimal condition that is suggested by the PSAT database. Annual savings potential for Plant A is found to be USD 4000, meanwhile for Plant B, annual savings potential that can be saved is up to USD 24,100. For effective implementation, the system’s pressure drops can be improved to ensure the pump achieves its best efficiency point, (BEP).
