SKF develops a new service for energy efficiency aimed at processing plants and manufacturing industries

A service to assess the reliability of the machines and identify areas for improvement

Drafting MU05/12/2007

SKF has developed an application over the Internet for energy and environmental analysis called Client Energy and Environment Analysis (EAEC), capable of presenting formulas for significantly reducing energy consumption and costs for the plants, process and manufacturing industries.

A small percentage of energy saving by machine can provide tremendous cost savings when considering the effects throughout the plant. In a typical oil refinery there are thousands of bombs, and the energy savings by bomb could be of up to 20 per cent.

The EAEC provides a "map of opportunities" of the potential energy savings and identifies those that may offer greater savings as a percentage of savings, restitution and cost function.

Then, these factors are compared with the key indicators and business objectives of performance of the client to prioritize activities that give better results.

Also, SKF provides technology and services needed to carry out the activities of energy savings, allowing a clear, cost-effective approach to the entire operation. Typical solutions include: analysis of vibration, pulleys/axes alignment, balanced, performance of the machines, etc.

In many cases industries with greater energy consumption using SKF services through various contracts for maintenance services focusing in the operating time of machines and maintenance cost savings. This means that SKF is very familiar with the operations of the plant and equipment, which facilitates the analysis and gives a more comprehensive approach.

Since the energy efficiency of equipment of a plant may be deteriorating over time, the EAEC is an ideal tool for the periodic review. It is a structured analysis and repeatable that offers a quick overview of the current "map" of energy efficiency, stressing equipment previously measured variations and the degree of possibility to increase efficiency and save costs.

The EAEC is one of SKF services to help customers assess the reliability of the machines and identify areas for improvement. SKF has a confidential database with nearly 1,000 EAEC already completed projects that serve as reference for all industrial sectors or plant of a large corporation, with the purpose of identifying key machinery and the degree of opportunity to expect a clientas well as ensuring that the projected savings are realistic and are part of a process of continuous improvement.

A typical EAEC offers customers easy to read data and highlights the opportunities for improvement, in addition to classify them according to its magnitude. Given that their access is via the Internet, the EAEC portal is available for consultants and clients of SKF, allowing his consultation with effort and in minimal time.
