The Challenges

The textile company faced several energy-related challenges that impacted its operational costs and environmental footprint:

  • High Energy Costs: The company’s manufacturing processes and facilities required substantial energy consumption, leading to significant operational expenses.
  • Generator Fuel Costs: Reliance on diesel generators for power backup contributed to high energy costs.
  • Environmental Concerns: The use of diesel generators resulted in a considerable carbon footprint, conflicting with the company’s sustainability goals.

Energeia’s Solution: Energas Dual Fuel Conversion

To address these challenges, Energeia converted 2 of the company’s 500 kVA diesel generators to dual fuel operation, allowing it to run on a combination of diesel and natural gas. This conversion aimed to:

  • Reduce diesel consumption
  • Lower fuel costs
  • Decrease the company’s carbon footprint, aligning with their sustainability objectives

ESCO Shared Savings Model

Under the Shared Savings ESCO model, Energeia assumed responsibility for the entire project, covering financing, procurement, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of the Dual Fuel Kit for a tenure of 3 years.

Results

The Energas Dual Fuel Conversion yielded significant benefits for the thread manufacturing company. The conversion of both the diesel generators resulted in an annual reduction of 36 KL of diesel consumption, equating to ₹9 Lakh in fuel cost savings. This reduction in diesel usage is equivalent to preserving about 3,360 trees.
