The Challenges

The company faced several significant challenges related to energy management:

  • High Energy Costs: The company reported an annual expenditure on power and fuel costs, placing a considerable burden on their operational budget.
  • High Generator Fuel Costs: The reliance on diesel generators contributed to the high energy costs.
  • High Carbon Footprint: The use of diesel generators also resulted in a significant carbon footprint, which the company was keen to reduce as part of its sustainability efforts.

Energeia’s Solution: Energas Dual Fuel Conversion

To address these challenges, Energeia converted one of the company’s 1500 KVA diesel generators to dual fuel operation, enabling the generator to run on a mix of diesel and natural gas. This conversion was designed to:

  • Reduce diesel consumption
  • Lower fuel costs
  • Decrease the company’s carbon footprint
  • Decrease SOx, NOx and PM emissions from onsite power generation

Results

The Energas Dual Fuel Conversion yielded significant benefits for the manufacturing facility. The conversion of one 1500 KVA diesel generator resulted in an annual reduction of 27 KL of diesel consumption, equating to ₹6.75 Lakhs in fuel cost savings and the preservation of about 2,500 trees. These savings vary monthly based on generator runtime, potentially increasing during high-usage periods.
