ENERGY AUDIT

An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy flows, for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). Reference:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_audit

ALPS MSI offers to conduct free energy audit 2 – 5 rotating machines whose methodologies are in compliance to International Performance Measurement Verification Protocol (IPMVP). www.evo-world.org

NOTE: ECM – Energy Conservation Measure

ALPS MSI has the expertise in energy audit, engineering and project management by drive specialists with extensive experience in nearly all branches of industry. These services save time and minimize the project- related personnel needed in the company.

Our Procedures

1. Identifying potential energy savings The energy requirements are determined and potential energy savings are identified:

Identification     of the existing energy consumption of the plants;

Representation     of the energy flow and possible savings potentials;M

Measurement     of the power and grid quality;

Analysis     of electric motors in terms of their workload and energy efficiency; and

Compilation     of energy costs to deter- mine the potential energy savings.

2. Evaluating the collected data

The identified areas of potential savings are evaluated using different methods to establish a solid foundation for decision-making:

Incorporation     of experience from similar plants through comparison with known     applications;

Calculation     of potential savings using SinaSave energy efficiency software;

Determination     of investment costs taking lifetime, amortization, and feasibility into     account ; and

Definition     of measures and proposed solutions.

3. Implementing the energy optimization measures The suitable products and specific implementation measures are determined and carried out. Selection of suitable components:

Retrofit     and modernization of plant parts;

Provision     of order support;

Project     management and administration;

Engineering,     project planning, set up, modifications, assembly, installation, commissioning,     acceptance testing, and training; and

Review     of results after a specified period of time.

Benefits

Improved energy balance and production conditions over the long term

Efficient     energy use through the installation of state-of-the-art energy-saving     motors;

Optimized     energy use through retrofits on variable-speed drives;

Adaptation     of energy consumption to meet the specific requirements of the     application;

Less     grid demand for reactive power;

Improved     motor starting performance;

Lower     network load through fewer harmonics;

Less     wear and tear thanks to adjusted speeds;

Optimized     production conditions through lower maintenance requirements; and

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Vibration Analysis

Unscheduled downtime may cost millions of pesos per hour. Fortunately, modern vibration analysis equipment and software predict developing problems so that repair happens before disaster strikes.

ALPS MSI has the expertise and license to conduct vibration analysis with end result of providing Reliability Improvement, Condition Monitoring and Precision Maintenance

Case Study: Pump

The pump is brand new and operational 2008. In August 12, 2009 equipment owner hired our services to conduct Proactive Reliability Maintenance – Vibration Analysis. Below is the screenshot of the vibration results.

We recommended inspection why bearings were failing in spite that it was still considered brand new. In early part of April 2010, equipment owner called our attention that pump casing cracked as show in Figure 1.

Further inspection revealed as follows:

Defective Pump Inboard Bearing No. 7314 BEJ single

Defective Pump Outboard Bearing no. NU 314 ECJ/C3.

Damaged oil seals.

Mechanical seal condition was still good.

Action taken:

Re-machine the shaft to the required interference fits that will fit two pieces of 7314 BECBJ arranged backto-back. Aligned motor and pump shaft using Fixturlaser     NXA Alignment System.

Energy Efficiency Solutions

Clean Energy Solutions: HVAC Systems

Philippines is one of the highest electricity rates in South East Asia. Each industrial facility finds ways to reduce its Energy, Operating & Maintenance Cost (E&OM).

ALPS MSI in partnership with Siemens Philippines, Inc. is committed to help industrial motor users in reducing its power consumption. Proper design that is suitable for its use and optimized for its consumption plays an essential role for the energy efficiency of motors and its drive systems. Modern drive technology offer an enormous saving potential of up to 70 percent. This is the case for new plants as well as for modernization’s (retrofits).

The key for this is in a targeted analysis of drive systems regarding their respective degree of utilization and energy consumption. The tailored selection or modernization of motors and converters based on this, often already pays off in a very short time through the energy cost savings achieved.

The decisive factor for the most efficient use of energy is in reducing the energy consumption to the real demand of the application. The path to this is via a comprehensive bundle of measures. For this purpose:

costs and benefits of possible savings are compared with each other,

the drive components are designed according to the requirements and

the ideal path to sustainable realization of the entire concept are formulated.

ALPS MSI offers industrial facilities our technical and financing for reducing your energy consumption.

Your benefits:

Efficient use of energy through installation of modern energy-saving motors;

Optimized use of energy through retrofit to variable-speed drives;

Adjusting the energy expenditure to the specific requirement of the application;

Improved motor start-up behavior;

Low network load due to fewer  harmonics;

Reduced operational noise; and

Less wear and tear through adjusted speed.
