Total
Site™ analysis is an applied technology
that has been pioneered by Linnhoff March
to address the following issues:
 |
What
is the optimum way to improve my site
energy efficiency? |
|
Should
I focus on process improvements or on
the utility system? |
|
Will
changes I make now be compatible with
my future plans? |
 Using
process energy optimisation and utility system
modelling techniques as a basis, we adopt
a systematic approach to identify all opportunities
for energy savings. These opportunities are
then compared using the 'helicopter view'
of the site to select the optimum combination(s)
of projects.
The
chosen projects are presented in the form
of a RoadMap™ which defines the strategic
plan to:
|
Guide
investment in energy efficiency in both
the processes and the utility system
|
|
Ensure
compatibility of projects - no wasted
investment |
|
Reduce
emissions in line with competitive and
legislative pressure |
|
Debottleneck
processes and utility systems where
required |
|
Optimise
the addition of new cogeneration equipment
if appropriate |
|
Avoid
capital expenditure by minimising changes
to the site utility system required
by future expansion plans |
Our
unparalleled experience in more than 100
Total Site projects for major international
clients on five continents means that we
are the first choice to help you optimise
your production facilities and utility systems.
The
RoadMap
A
Total Site project will yield a number of
different projects. Some of them will be
compatible while others may be mutually
exclusive. It is important that the various
projects are put into context and that the
relationships between them be explained
in a relatively simple manner. For this
purpose, Linnhoff March has developed the
RoadMap.
The
RoadMap shows the strategic decisions which
need to be taken to move the site towards
greater energy efficiency. It also shows
the order in which the various projects
should be implemented. The RoadMap is a
planning tool showing the options for efficient
site development in the short, medium and
long term.
Results
|
Typical
total savings are in the range of 5
to 20% of the site energy bill |
|
This
can increase to 30% where significant
changes to the site cogeneration system
are identified |
An
example of this is the installation of an
appropriately sized gas turbine. Capital
investment can also be reduced or avoided
by the debottlenecking of steam systems
and cooling water circuits.
