• Header management steam production: To control steam production energy source according to cheapest energy source available (off peak electricity, #2, #6,) to minimize energy cost.
• Zone heating of the main sectors of the site: This measure consisted in implementing temperature supervisory controls by zone that take into account the critical parameters of the controlled zones: the operating hours, the outside temperature, the pressure of the network, the zone temperature, etc.
• Steam trap supervision: This measure improves the efficiency of steam traps and reduces the losses of live steam to the atmosphere of traps that operate poorly.
• Supervision - Condense Return: This measure increases the return of condensate to the thermal power plant to reduce the amount of make-up water for steam production as well as chemicals for water treatment.
• Control of the temperature of the coils: This measure consists of implementing a supervisory control to modulate the temperature of the thermal oil according to the outside temperature and other key parameters of operation.
