Metodologia estruturada de gestão energética aplicada à indústria frigorífica avícola

Abstract

This paper presents a case study over the energy management of a large company in the poultry industry. The initial approach was to carry a bibliographical review of the Brazilian energy scenario. This study showed the industry as the largest consumer of energy resources in the country, and pointed to a low percentage of the companies have the ISO 50001 standards. The case study was developed within a high-scale poultry slaughterhouse, where an evaluation of the company's energy structure was carried out based on the energy management dimensions. Opportunities for improvement were identified in the electricity and steam distribution control system, whose distribution system has few points of consumption measurement. The study evaluated the situation of consumption of the large sectors of the company, and a new scale of distribution of costs was proposed. A proposal for improvement on the control system was also developed, through investment in measuring equipment and in a supervision system.
