Aplicação de modulação fabril para redução de consumos de energias e fluidos

Abstract

Energy efficiency is gaining more and more space in industries, for sustainability reasons through the reduction of costs with electricity and the better use of water resources. Productivity is directly related to consumption of electricity, thermal energy and water, mainly in a consumer good industry, such as a brewery, where water is the major ingredient of the final product. The objective of this paper is the implementation of the methodology called Plant Modulation in a brewing industry in Campos Gerais of Paraná, which seeks the best alignment between production process and increase performance of energy indicators. The methodology was implemented throughout 2018, through theoretical data gathering of the factory’s equipment, creation of volume and consumption control spreadsheets, energy and water deployments, to analyze the process and implement improvements in the systems that generate and/or distribute energy and fluids to the beer production. After the implementation of the action raised, there was an increase in the performance of the three indicators analyzed (electric, thermal and water consumption). Thus proving the efficiency of the methodology.
