An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Chemical and Power Plants
The Application of Energy Efficiency in the Industry
Course Overview
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Chemical and Power Plants training course lays the foundations to the understanding energy efficiency in industry, concerning electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy systems. The systems approach, in which a holistic approach rather than an equipment component approach, is taken for maximum benefit and prioritization of opportunities. Implementable energy efficiency projects are some of the most attractive and underrated investments, since the overwhelming number of energy projects have large percentage savings and very low (if any) capital or operational expenditure.
Applying Energy Efficiency provides a comprehensive overview of the technical and economic aspects of energy efficiency (EE) measures. This training course cover support mechanisms for industrial sector and built environment energy efficiency (EE) projects. Key attributes of energy efficiency (EE) measures are highlighted, such as savings potential and organizational aspects (e.g. energy management systems and energy audits).
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- Principles of energy efficiency, including key concepts, technologies, and strategies crucial for optimizing energy use in chemical and power plants.
- Conducting energy audits, data collection, and analysis, empowering attendees to identify and implement energy-saving opportunities in their facilities.
- Explore cutting-edge technologies for enhancing energy efficiency, such as renewable energy integration, advanced control systems, and waste heat recovery solutions.
- Sustainability through life cycle assessment, waste reduction, and resource management, equipping participants with essential practices for building a more sustainable operation.
- Develop actionable plans for project implementation, including financing options and stakeholder engagement, ensuring they leave with practical tools for immediate application.
