Asset Management Strategies to Reduce Your Energy Consumption by 20% or More
The United States Department of Energy (DOE)estimates that most industrial facilities in the manufacturing, mining, and process industries can reduce energy consumption by 20% by implementing existing best practices.
The savings can be doubled with investment in R&D and technology. Much of the savings is derived from better management, operation, and maintenance of production assets.
This workshop introduces the important role asset managers and maintenance & reliability engineers play in reducing energy consumption. In addition to saving energy-related costs, deploying the important practices described in this workshop reduces greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions and reduces wear and tear on the equipment assets.
- Minimising parasitic frictional losses
- Reducing the effects of electrical harmonics
- Achieving phase-to-phase electrical balance
- Finding and eliminating pressurised fluid leaks
- Maintaining combustion efficiency
What Decarbonisation Means for Asset and Maintenance Managers
Maintenance and reliability leaders are essential in helping organisations navigate the transition to a more sustainable and climate-resilient future. How do we adapt to these new technologies, optimise energy use, and comply with a changing regulatory landscape in the context of decarbonisation and climate change targets? All disrupting previous lifecycle plans, investment, and reinvestment decisions, as[1]set management strategies and tactics, and the physical asset manager’s role.
- What is the impact on jobs and skills?
- How do we work with regulators and the requirements and environmental standards?
- What measures should asset managers take to account for the risks associated with stranded assets in the context of decarbonisation efforts?
- What about the capacity and resource challenges coming our way with all companies relying on the same suppliers and resources to decarb at the same time?
- What opportunities and challenges will asset managers face in integrating renewable energy sources and clean technologies into their asset management strategies?
- How will the role of the reliability engineers change?
