Energy costs.  In industry it is a subject that has never commanded so much attention or commitment to increasing efficiencies and reducing consumption.  

Adrian Langford is General Manager of the Process Burner Division at Lanemark International who have been at the forefront of process gas burner design and installation since the early 1980’s.  He believes there are a number of steps that could be considered and taken – either via converting existing ‘point of use’ systems or replacing centralised facilities – which can help to mitigate against the new energy cost environment in which, he says, UK manufacturing must now operate.

Even on a rough sea, a crane has to be able to lower loads of up to 120 tons into the water, accurate to the tenth of a metre

She was ready earlier this year: the Seven Atlantic, an ultra modern support vessel for divers in the North Sea. Responsible for the electrical wiring is Croon-Bakker Sliedrecht, who during the test phase could rely on the services of Energyst CAT ® Rental Power.

The recent delivery of the Seven Atlantic Subsea 7 to its owner meant the next step in a truly epic project for IHC Merwede Shipyard in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. In a relatively short time the company has produced two so-called pipe laying vessels – the Seven Oceans and the Seven Seas - and has completed project number three with the transfer of the Seven Atlantic. They are currently already working on the fourth ship, which as of yet remains nameless. Starting this year, the ships will perform their duties in the deep oil fields in the North Sea.

http://www.engineeringmaintenance.info/images/stories/energyst%20PR3.jpgVehicles can be rented, so can tents and even Santa Claus outfits. It's probably less well known that when air-conditioning or power-supply units are required, they too can be hired rather than purchased outright. One of Europe's biggest providers in this area is Energyst B.V., with their head office in Breda, the Netherlands.

Energyst B.V. always have the right solution available when it comes to equipment for generating electricity, refrigeration, air conditioning, or heating and ventilation. Caterpillar electricity generators start at 20 kVA and go right up to complete installations for power stations. Besides electrical generating sets, Energyst also supplies uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), transformers, load banks, switch over panels, distribution panels, and cables.

3 West north3 West North (3WN) is one of the newest buildings on the campus, built in 2005 to house a number of research laboratories as part of the Department of Physics. It includes drawing towers for making photonic crystal fibres, a 200-seater lecture theatre and two general teaching classrooms for 100 and 30 people, as well as various labs with equipment including lasers, lathes and furnaces. This vital research, however, is energy intensive, and the building has an annual electricity bill of £70,000.

Within the Department of Estates, significant investment has been made in improving the energy monitoring of buildings such as this, and through the Our Big Energy Challenge project, a departmental energy champion has been trained and now acts as a point of contact for the Energy & Environment team.

Motor MaintenanceThe imperative in industry to cut energy costs and reduce green house gases is good news for suppliers of high efficiency motors. However, the projected efficiency gains from using EFF1 or 2 type machines will not be achieved if motor system and supply problems that existed before they were installed are not resolved. One of the most common of these is low power factor.

Motors operated with low power factors are expensive and inefficient. In the worst cases this can result in utility supply companies having to increase their generation and transmission capacity to handle the reactive power component caused by inductive loads. There is a price for this: in the UK, the threshold value for power factor is 0.85, below this figure industrial users are generally charged more by their suppliers.

The Ultraflo is a transit time ultrasonic flow meter designed to work with clamp-on transducers, to provide accurate measurement of liquid flowing within a closed pipe, without the need for any mechanical parts to be inserted through the pipe wall or to protrude into the flow system. It takes just a few minutes to install and there is no need to shut down flow or drain the system!

Programming the unit is carried out by selecting the options displayed in the main menu and by following the simple instructions in any of the user selectable languages. Signal strength, time and date, as well as flow information are all continuously displayed, keeping the user fully aware of the measurement process.

At the beginning of September 2008 we were approached by two companies regarding the rental of an O&G unit for a small platform in the North Sea called Varg A. The generator was to run the Fire Pump onboard for any emergency situations, so it is basically a standby unit. We offered a budget rate for renting one of our new Oil & Gas units.

After several discussions and clarifications Teekay Norway took over the project at the beginning of 2009, and the ball really started rolling. We not only had to place our Oil & Gas unit on the platform, it also needed some modifications. Together with our Technical Manager, Kjell Olsen Øen, Teekay decided that they needed some very special arrangements onboard the platform. This meant that we had to rebuild certain parts of the unit, and also install an extra long piping construction for the air intake and also for removal of the exhaust gases. See pictures. The container also needed overpressure, because of the danger of gas.
