Technical-economic assessment of energy efficiency measures in a midsize industry

Abstract

The industry sector is facing many challenges such as global competition, energy pricing, environmental impact among others. Consequently, the necessity of energy efficiency measures has become evident, framing the objective of this project as to assess the technical and economic prefeasibility of implementing energy efficiency measures in a dairy products manufacturing company located in the south of Reunion Island with the help of RETSCreen®, a Clean Energy Project Analysis Software. The scope of the project is focused in one of the nine buildings where the company accomplishes different production processes, specifically in the ultra-high temperature pasteurization facility building (UHT).
