Gestão energética de um abatedouro de frangos do sudoeste no Paraná

Abstract

The industrial sector is the largest consumer of energy in Brazil. Among the manageable costs in this sector, energy utilities are becoming increasingly important, driven by cost reduction, uncertainty of availability and environmental restrictions. The aim of this work is to study the management of energy utilities in a slaughtering industry in order to understand the consumption control of utilities, indicators and energy efficiency actions applied in industry. Firstly, a review of the literature was carried out on two energy management models, the ABNT NBR ISO 50001 - Energy management system and the conceptual model of energy management proposed by Schulze et al. After the development of preliminary studies, interviews were conducted with managers of a poultry slaughterhouse located in the Southwest of Paraná. For these interviews, checklists were elaborated in five categories: Planning and Strategy, Implementation and Operation, Control, Organization and Culture and based on the two energy management models present in the literature. Thus, a relation of conformities and non-conformities was obtained in the management system of the company studied in relation to theoretical management models. It was found that in the management system studied, the Culture category is more out of date in comparison theory and practice. On the other hand, it was verified that in the Control category the organization has a detailed tool of analysis of consumption and indicators. Finally, it was identified how the energy efficiency actions in the company are raised through the internal benchmarking carried out by the company.
