It was difficult to estimate the distribution as to how many percent of sewing machines
operate simultaneously, so we assumed that the distribution rate was 2#L based on the
above calculation.

recycle of drain, which was advised at the previous investigation, was already performed by
newly installing a drain tank about one and half a year before. -he energy audit team found
that steam was rising around the descending drain pipes at the top portion of the tank and,
sometimes, water was overflowing and running down on the wall of the tank. =n the other

on the wall of the tank was ?# or more at the top part and 9# or more at the lower part.
It was confirmed that the difference between these temperatures and the outside-air
temperature was bigE therefore the device had effect. nder these circumstances, the team
advised as followsG
a. 4revent steam leakage by using a steam trap.

electricity consumption using these meters. &t the predetermined times, they get a reading
of an integrating wattmeter and calculate the day-to-day difference so that they can grasp
the electricity consumption in each department everyday. 0ased on these data, a load curve

;"< =utline of the factory
-he new factory of 3ompany 0 located about a +# minute drive from the factory of
3ompany & or about $ km from 4hnom 4enh airport, is built in a considerably large area of a
vast industrial park. -he factory built for the first term has already started operation about three
months earlier. -he factory appeared to be designed aiming at high efficiency and high
productivity based on the e6periences of 3ompany &. 7orking environment was far more
e6cellent than in 3ompany &.
&s the first term, the factory started operation with half of its capacity. -he number of
workers is presently ",### with two working shifts and will double to ?,###, and will
employ %#,### in total including indirect department and other kinds of staff.
In 3ambodia, there is another bigger factory owned by a company in Cong Aong. -hey said that
among a total of "## garments manufacturing companies, this group is ranked within the
nationJs five largest groups.
%< 'ewing process
In a huge building ;about 2#mO>#m< with an appearance of the newest factory, it was a
grand sight that a large number of female workers were all working with sewing machines.
- 1 6
-he ceiling seemed to be about two stories high and for the air cooling system, Hthe air
cooling draft system by dripping waterI, the same as that of 3ompany &, was introduced.
-ransparent vinyl sheets were hanging from the ceiling at intervals of ten meters, so the
airflow was limited within some meters above the floor of the working place. 7e felt the
airflow and found that it produced comfortable environment.
"< Ironing process
:ike the factory of 3ompany &, two pipes for supplying and returning steam were installed, to
which two fle6ible pipes with small diameter from each ironing machine were connected. 7e
could not find how drain recovery was performed, but the effective use of drain was not
conducted at present.
+< &ir compressors
&lso like the factory of 3ompany &, 'crew compressors manufactured by Citachi 3o., :td. have
been installed. -he outlet pressure was set at about #.9>M4a, a little high value.
$< 0oilers
,uel oils were used ;there were the tanks marked as 4etronas, a petroleum company in
Malaysia<. -he heat insulator was attached only to the bodies of the boilers but heat
recovery drain has not been performed. Ceaders were arranged in the near the boilers, and the
drain from the lower part of the boiler was discharged to the nearby street via the steam trap, and
a cloud of steam was rising.
+. " &dvice and Recommendations for ((53 &ctivities
;%< -he working environment was very good because of the high ceiling and the air was
flowing etc. 7e felt that the air-cooling draft system worked well there.
;"< -he fluorescent lights installed on the high ceiling of the warehouse were not appropriate in
terms of the characteristics of light distribution. 7e recommend replacement of them with
CI. type ones.
;+< -he air filters for intake of air compressors seemed to be frequently cleaned. 7e recommend
installation of intake duct to intake fresh air. -he discharge pressure was a little high.
;$< 3oncerning boilers and steam piping etc., we made the same e6planations as we made for in
3ompany &. (specially, we recommended early improvement in manual supply of water to
the tanks and effective use of drain.

hardly had effect on illumination. It was estimated to bring out a saving of +"M7h/y.
$.+ ,ollow-up (nergy &udit
In order to conduct a follow-up to investigate whether the problems pointed out at the
previous audits had been improved or not, and what kind of new activities had been
promoted, we visited the sewing ;knitting< factory for two days.

7e thought the M57+ factory was not cooperative in the investigation, probably due to
busyness. & technical engineer who accompanied us spoke only 3hinese, while a person in
charge of general affairs translated in (nglish, Ahmer and 3hinese, but did not know much
about technical terms, so the efficiency in communication was bad.
-his factory did not receive the questionnaire either that we had sent to the MI)( via &3(
prior to the investigation, so we could not obtain sufficient data in spite of our request. 7e
were told that only the headquarters in 3hina grasped the statistic data. 3onsequently, we only
confirmed the production and consumption of fuels in "##+ and "##$. ,urthermore, we were
prohibited from entering more areas than at the previous investigation. 7e only saw the
generators, boilers and passed by the yard for packaging and ironing. 7e !ust conducted a
simple follow-up audit investigation for a short time.

"." =utline of the Results of the 4revious (nergy &udit on 3ompany 3
Recommendations for improvement in the last energy audit were as followsG
;%< Ceat recovery in waste gas from the reheating furnace
,or heat recovery in waste gas, a metal heating tube-type recuperator is usedE in order to reduce
5
the unit consumption of fuel further, installation of regenerative burners was recommended.
'ince the regenerator in the regenerative burner system is heated by the e6haust gas of high
temperature as opposed to the recuperator uses the furnace e6haust gas, which has lost some
heat in the preheating zone and ducts as the source of heat in heat e6change with the
combustion air, the former generates preheated air of higher temperature, raising the energy
conservation effect by %# to "#L.
;"< Reduction of basic electric charge due to reduced electrical demand
-his system sounds an alarm automatically when the actual ma6imum power ;%2-minute
demand value< is to be e6ceeding the target demand value, and restricts load on electrical
equipment of lower priority ;e.g., air conditioning< in order to regulate the values within the
target demand value.
,or instance, when power contract of ?,###k7 are to be reduced by 2##k7, assuming the
mean electric cost is around 2.24C4/k7h, a cost-reduction of appro6imately 'M"9,9+#/y
based on the electric charge structure of this area will be feasible. nder this assumption, the
investment for system installation is recoverable in appro6imately % year.
;+< 4ower factor improvement through deployment of M(R&:3= Receiving 4ower ,actor
(nhancement 'ystem.
-he mean receiving power factor for "##" was B$."2L. 7hen raised to %##L, about
'M"",29#/y in power factor discount can be realized. Investment required may be recovered in
appro6imately $ and half years.
-hough demand power reduction or power factor improvement does not directly result in
energy conservation in the userJs side, such measures are beneficial for energy conservation of the
supplier of the power.
;$< &ir compressor number control in operation
3hange air compressor operation will be shifted from individually controlled system to
quantitatively controlled operation. Cowever, because actual operating condition ;on-
load/un-load condition< could not be determined, estimation was not effected.

-hese figures alone are not revealing all the reasonsE they are as followsG
a. (nergy intensity varies among products ;steel bar size< due to difference in conditions of

increases by %." to ".2:/t as the size of the steel bar decreases by one step.<
b. -ime lost in changing over the product size is disadvantageous in production of many
articles.
In order to make proper assessment of energy intensity, it is necessary to analyze each plant and
product on a separate basis. -his mill is accumulating the data on energy intensity of each
product, but lacked enough data to revise the above-described data.
.uring the round of &ugust "B, the indicator for fuel unit consumption in the operation room
was showing the ">:/t level for continuous rolling operation of same size product ;around "#

.uring the last visit, the management stated that only the new mill was in operation at the time,
however, M-II ;no visitationE about +##m away from the new mill< is operating during this visit.

;"< (nergy management activities
-he 3ompany has taken a step in May "##2 toward systematic activities in internal energy
conservation by organizing the (nergy Management -eam. -he team membership consists of
representatives of departments and meets on a weekly basis. -he team leader is 'enior
Manager as mentioned above.
-he 3ompany intends to make full use of training 'enior Manager received in 8apan in 8une
"##2. &s a starting point, the 3ompany has decided to focus on Hminimization of downtime
energy consumption and in Sawareness-raisingJ of employees in general toward energy
conservation.
;+< ,urnace air ratio control and heat recovery from e6haust gas
%< Installation of regenerative burner
)o action has been taken on this matter. -he 3ompany e6plained that fuel conservation of
the e6isting recuperator is +#L and apparently is satisfied with its performance.
In actuality, the temperature of the e6haust gas at the recuperator intake port is >## and
temperature of the furnace air supply is raised from +# to +2#. 'ome times it reaches
$## ;however, under these conditions, fuel saving should be in the "#L level at the
ma6imum<.
7hile regenerative burner is effective, and installation of regenerative burner system by
8apanese manufacturers is possible in newly constructed furnace, decision is a difficult one
because conversion is costly due to the equipment price and necessity for operational
shutdown during the period of conversion.
7e do hope that 3ompany 3 considers it important to keep the pro!ect on the agenda for the
future.
"< Internal air leak of the recuperator
7hile the air ratio is maintained at %.% in the upstream part of the recuperator, the
downstream o6ygen level in the throat of the stack His measured once a weekE the o6ygen
level is 2 - >LI was the answer. 7hen the intake air-o6ygen ratio is %.%, the o6ygen level of
the e6haust gas should be appro6imately "L. -his is a separate issue, however it is quite
possible that some air meant for fuel combustion is leaking into the furnace.
7e attempted to measure the o6ygen content in the e6haust gas but due to a problem with the
sampling tube, the attempt was unsuccessful. &s an alternative, we used the o6ygen content
of the e6haust gas at the throat of the stack, the fuel oil component and the combustion air
ratio, and then estimated the amount of the air that may be leaking into the furnace. Cowever,
10
since we have not determined the o6ygen content at the air intake of the recuperator, we
disregarded air leakage at the billet charge and discharge ports, furnace body and ducts. -he
result of the calculation indicated that, of the preheated air in the recuperator, leakage rate into
the e6haust gas was %>L when the o6ygen content was 2L at the throat of the stack, "+L
when the o6ygen content was 9L and "?L when the o6ygen content was >L.
7e e6pect the (nergy Management -eam to take this matter seriously and inspect the
recuperator and repair any deficiencies it might find.
+< 3onsideration of the necessity of e6haust fan on the stack
7e have doubts as to the effectiveness of the e6isting fan on the stack. 3iting e6amples of
fan-less furnaces, we suggested review of the relationship of drafting capability with the
height of the stack and controlling of suction force on the e6haust gas by the use of a damper.
7e pointed out that it might be possible to remove the fan depending on the result.
;$< .emand control ;ma6imal power control< at the power receiving station
Recommendation was not implementedE however, it is true that reactivation of M-II altered the
condition and the issue needs to be reconsidered.
-he electric power charge is composed of the combination of basic charge and metered charge.
-he basic charge is imposed on monthly ma6imum power consumption measured in terms of
%2-minute demands. -he time period of %2 minutes is too short to render control by means of
manned watch. -hus, deployment of automatic measurement system is appropriate and
functional integration into the factory automation system ;,&'< is recommended.
7hile it is conceivable to utilize the demand meter system recommended in the "##+ 4hase I
energy audit, functional integration into the ,&' that is a control system for production
facilities may be superior, in consideration for future e6pansion of the control functions.
=n the other hand, daily power consumption control is also important. It may be implemented
on the basis of various power indications in the power distribution system.
-he simpler approach is to read off various cumulative power consumption indications at the
same time period on a daily basis, calculate the differences with the readings of the previous
day and summarize the results by .epartment. -his method would generate clues for further
approaches to energy conservation. .ata so obtained could also be used to generate the daily
load curve of power consumption.
In order to obtain more detailed equipment data for e6amining energy conservation, power
measurements would be required.
;2< Improvement of power factor
11
& condenser was already installed directly after installation of the transformer. -herefore, effect
generated by the power factor improvement on the loading side is limited to the improvement in
ohm-loss in the power distribution line.
-he 3ompany indicated that they would take care of larger motors. In this respect, we have
made some calculations based on measurements made on &ugust +#.

-he results of the estimation are shown in -able -"-+.
.istribution loss due to pumps and compressors is below several percent of the load power.
'uch values are within the allowable range and installing a condenser on the motor for the

.ifference in deployment number came about as a result of reactivation of M-II. 7hen M-II was
inactive, all air compressors were moved to M-I for concentration.
&t this point, we have described an approach to determine the required capability and focal
points in controlling the number of units of air compressor in operation in the following
manner.
7hile the air compressor configuration is four "##hp and two %##hp units, however, we
assume that actual operating requirement may be met with two "##hp and one %##hp units.
3alculate the actual load rate requirement in routine operation in terms of load time -% and
unload time -" and apply them in the following formula for estimationG
:oad ratio N -%/;-%V-"<
3ompressor discharge rate N :oad ratio O rated value
=n the basis of the results of above calculations and rated output, assign main units for rated
operation and sub-units for load/unload operation. In operation control, customary approach is to
use a unit number control panel, but it is possible to accomplish the ob!ective through
ad!ustment of discharge pressure control values of each unit. 0y narrowing the range of
controllable pressure of the sub-units in comparison with the main units, they can serve as
load/unload units, respectively.
"< .etermination of leakage and control measures
-o facilitate this operational mode, it is necessary to locate leaks and repair the e6it side of
piping system. 3ompany 3 side has told us that the company has Hconducted piping
inspection based on the steps planned by the (nergy Management -eam appro6imately "
weeks ago. 'ome 2# leaks were foundI. In that case, it would be possible to lower the
pressure on the e6it side provided leaks are repaired.
In any compressed air system, invent in a newly installed system, there is generally leakage
of + to 2L, e6ceed %#L as a function of aging and even reach +2L. :eaks principally
develop in connecting parts of piping ;corrosion of the flange, deterioration and development
of gaps in the gasket, loosening of bolts, etc.<, sealed area of devices ;rubber or metal seal on
an elastic body<, slackening or break of the hose and incomplete closing of the valves.
13
Duantitative determination of leakage may be accomplished through measurement of loading
factor in operation of the compressor system when the mill is not in operation.
+< 4lacement of compressors
-he air pressurized by the compressor is delivered with pressure to the terminal equipment
through piping and is sub!ected to loss of pressure and flow ;leaks< under delivery.
-hus, needlessly distant delivery with pressure is not always warranted. -hat is, it is possible to
have an instance in which it is more effective in terms of energy conservation to set up
multiple independent compression systems according to the load.
In addition, other miscellaneous measures such as looping of branching pipes, placement of
receiver tank in locally heavy loaded area, etc. is possible against loss of pressure. -imely
response is desirable.
$< Reduction of discharge pressure
-he discharge pressure control of the compressor is set at a rather high level of %## to %%#psi
;#.> - #.>>M4a<. 3ompany 3 side e6plained that this high level of compression is needed to
maintain the terminal equipment pressure in M-II Mill, +##m far from compressor room. &
close study may reveal that it would be necessary to reinstall the compressors for M-II in the
original location.
In decreasing the discharge pressure of the compressors and determining the optimal values, it
would be desirable to first ascertain the pressure requirement of each unit before
decreasing the pressure. ,or instance, discharge pressure reduction from #.>M4a to #.9M4a
would result in power saving of appro6imately ?L.
:ow-pressure loadG 4ressure reduction by mean of reducing valve
Cigh-pressure loadG 3onsider pressure increase by means of boosters
,or e6ample, air blow pressure for the cleaner can be low ;appro6imately #.+M4a<,
etc.
&n abnormally high pressure of #.?2M4a was indicated on one of the receiver tanks. -he first
step in data management is to conduct comparative e6amination immediately to do
calibration at abnormal meter readings.
2< 'electing the inverter unit ;variable load-compatible type<
& throttle valve generally affects capacity control of the screw type compressor and such a
compressor consumes appro6imately >#L of rating under unloaded conditionE partial load
property of the screw type compressor is not good. ,or this reason, as a sub-unit requiring
volume regulation, an inverter-controllable compressor is favorable. -his topic must be on the
agenda in time of system renewal.

manufacturing operation of this company is simpler than independent rolling mills to the e6tent of
the lack of row material procurement and product transportation.
In comparison with steel rods of larger size, small rods manufacturing is less efficient in rolling

Recommended improvements up to "##$ comprised of the following itemsG
;%< Increasing heat-recovery from furnace e6haust gas
,or heat recovery of e6haust gas, a recuperator of metal tube for combustible air heating is in
useE however, the temperature of pre-heated air remains below "2# ;ma6. "B><. -he
conceivable cause of inefficiency may be low temperature of e6haust gas at the intake port of
the recuperator at 9## and that the pre-heated air is leaking inside of the recuperator.
-he low temperature of the e6haust gas may be attributed to effective transfer of e6haust heat
to the billet within the preheating zone of the furnace, however heat is poring out of the billet
charging port of the furnace. Reducing this opening by half would conceivably reduce heavy
oil requirement by appro6imately %>#k:/y. In addition, the furnace appears to be taking in air
19
at the billet discharging portE it requires considerable work to keep outside air from entering.
-he furnace and ducts also require their heat-keeping capability to be raised. -he combustible
air ratio of less than %.# means either the furnace is operating under the assumption of having to
compensate for considerable penetration of outside air or malfunction of the indicator.
Recuperator was replaced in 8uly "##$, but penetration of the pre-heated air in the recuperator
was detected already in ,ebruary "##2. 4rocedure in maintenance appears to require
strengthening, now and in future.
;"< 4revention of compressed air leaks
4ersonnel of the 4rimary 'teel 3orporation has tested the air leakage in about half of the
compressed air distribution piping and measured %".%L of leakage loss. It means that the loss is
over "#L in the entire piping. ,or e6ample, if this loss were reduced by %L, the savings would
amount to appro6imately ?#,### 4C4 per year. -hus, we have recommended reducing the current
compression leak by over half with the ob!ective of lowering to 2L.
;+< Implementation of demand control
-he ma6imum electric power consumption in .ecember "##$ was $#?2k7 and those of many
of the past months approached $###k7. -he mean monthly loading rate is low in the 2#L
level.
7e have therefore proposed that the 3orporation install the demand meter. & concerted effort
of conservation by setting a ma6imum monthly level on the basis of monthly production
volume would achieve a considerable effect in reduction of the basic monthly power bill.

-he activities of these 1roups are principally awareness rising of energy conservation, turning off
lights and air conditioners if not necessary and turning off equipment when the task is completed
and other such miscellaneous items.
In addition, the 3orporation is planning a program to perform energy-use audit ;principally on use
of fuels and electric power< on a semiannual basis.
;+< Recovering heat from furnace e6haust gas
-he e6isting recuperator had damaged tubing and other defects and the e6it port temperature
of air for the fuel at the time of "##+ visit was low at ""#. -he replacement with a
recuperator of same capacity in 8uly "##$ raised the e6it port air temperature to "$2
;ma6imum temperature at "B><. &ccording to 4rimary 'teel, Hthere is no more leaks after
replacementIE nevertheless, we took measurements of the e6haust gas temperature and o6ygen
content at the intake and e6it ports of the recuperator on 'eptember %. -he results are shown
on -able -+-".
-he combustion air ratio ;m< indicator located in the furnace control room was reading #.B".
-his value is doubtfulE it is displaying either a compensated value to offset the air leaks or the
23

-he e6haust stack was issuing a slightly smoky gas, however the o6ygen content of the

Measurements were taken at the temperature measurement openings at the front-end and

simultaneous measured.
'ince the o6ygen content level of the e6haust gas at the e6it port was greater than that of the
intake port by ".$ - +L, it was conceivable that combustion air was leaking into the e6haust
gas inside the recuperator and, as a result, the temperature of the e6haust gas at the e6it port
was lowered. ,rom the measured o6ygen content, the air ratio could be roughly estimated to
be resulted by air leak of appro6imately %>L to flow rate of e6haust gas. -his level was
sufficient enough to be remedied from the standpoint of energy conservation. 7e have,
accordingly, advised the corporate side Hto take advantage of ne6t plant closing to inspect the
recuperator for air leaks.I In addition, we have demonstrated a method of calculating the
e6haust gas flow rate on the basis of the characteristics of the fuel and to obtain an estimate of
leaked air.
;$< Improvement of furnace doors
Improvements of the following items have been completedG
i< ,ine ad!ustment of charging billets by installation of a winch at the billet charging port ii<
Installation of width-ad!ustable door on the billet discharging port
24
iii< Improvement of sequencer on the insertion pusher side.
iv< Improvement of sequencer on the billet-discharging doorG -he door occasionally
remained open too despite the improvement. -he corporate side e6plained that the
cause was deformation of the billets and it was unavoidable.
;2< -emperature maintenance of the fuel heavy oil
7ith respect to fuel oil temperature, setting of B# was raised to %%#. In addition, we
strengthened insulation of piping and fle6ible tubing feeding the burners. 7ith these measures, the
corporate staff felt that spraying improved and combustion looked smoother ;fuel oil
temperature was slightly higher than the temperature set in usual operation<.
;9< .emand control of power reception
-his item was not implemented. -he corporate side admitted that the problem was beyond the
level of staff capability in techniques and knowledge, and the cost was prohibitive.
-he billing system for the electrical power consumption is composed of the combination of
basic and specific duty charges. -he basic charge is imposed on monthly ma6imum power
consumption measured in terms of %2-minute demands. -he time period of %2 minutes is too
short to render control by means of manned watch. -hus, deployment of automatic
measurement system is appropriate for monitoring and requires integration into the ,&'
;,actory &utomation 'ystem<.
.aily power control is also important, however, this function may be implemented on the
basis of various power indications in the power distribution system. -he simplest approach is
to read off various cumulative power consumption indications at the same time period on a
daily basis, calculate the differences with the readings of the previous day and summarize the
results by .epartment. -his method would generate clues for further approaches to energy
conservation. .ata so obtained could also be used to generate the daily load curve. In order to
obtain more detailed equipment data for energy conservation, power meters would be
required.

4ressure loss reduction in piping can be e6pected by looping of piping system and
eliminating leaks ;reduction in flow rate<. Installment of boosters where high pressure is
required must also be considered. In addition, consider whether there are other measures to
facilitate energy conservation.

If the operational efficiency is 9%L, installment of inverter type of air compressor is
difficult to establish as economically efficient. -hus, we have made a
recommendation to consider leak detection discussed above to determine the
measures to prevent diminution of air flow rate and pressure loss at the e6it port and to
consider installation of the inverter-controlled air compressors at the time of future
occasion to replace the air compressors.

various places on the premises. 'uch a practice is serious enough to offset all the steady
efforts for energy conservation the 3orporation has been accumulating over these years. 7e
have thus attempted to convince the corporate staff that the following efforts would be
meaningful while improving the product yield significantly contributed toward conservation
of energy.
- Reducing down time
- Increasing productivity ;reducing losses< - &ccording to Mr. Ramon, the process yield
reached B2L, however, observation of the site gave us the impression it was actually less.
7e feel that raising the product yield even by %L is needed.
"< 2' of rolling operation electrical control room
7hen we looked at the electrical control room of the rolling mill, we were surprised by the
27
cleanliness of the room. Its cleanliness made us wonder that this was in a plant and gave the
impression that not a spec of dirt could be found in the room. Mr. 1o told us that the staff
decided that they should have at least one thing that they could be proud of. 7e e6pect that this
movement would affect other units of the plant, and if it does, implementation of energy
conservation would become easier in this mill.

-he cost of condensing power generation was about half that of purchased power ;R4+%2,?$# N
X$.9"/k7h for peak hours and R4"9+,"## N X+.?2/k7h for night-time use<. -herefore, any
further investment in electricity saving was not usually worthwhile. ,urthermore, since the
condensing power generation had to be increased by about #.$2t/h in order to save %t/h of steam,
although the simply calculated steam cost was about 'M+.>? ;X$+2</t, the actual effect of any
saving was thereby reduced to little more than half this amountG 'M".#B ;X"$#</t. -his fact
indicated that any effective investment in further energy conservation was practically
impossible.
%< 3urrently, large amounts of steam are leaking from steam traps, valves, piping, and heaters all
over the plant, and heat insulation and painted surfaces are not adequately maintained.
"< Reduction of wasteful operation of water supply pumps ;0,4<

amounts to %2L of the average volume of supply water used for the four evaporators. -he

<hough the average temperature of waste gas can be as high as "%$.", waste heat can be
recovered down to about %+# since the sulfur content of the heavy oil used at :(3(' Mill

described above, that it is effectively impossible to invest in further energy conservation.

0y taking the measures described above, it is e6pected that the heat efficiency of this boiler
plant could be improved up to about B+L.
$< -he temperature of the steam generated by the boilers is low.
It can be seen from the daily logs that the steam pressure is kept stable between $.$ and
$.2M4a, but the two-day average values of steam temperature for )o. % to )o. $ boilers are $"2,
$+2, $$2 and $#2, respectively, showing fluctuation among the individual boilers. -he
temperatures of )o. % boiler and )o. $ boiler are particularly low. 0y raising the temperatures of
)o. % and )o. $ boilers by %# and +#, respectively, the amount of power generated would
be increased by >k7/t and "k7/t, respectively.

all the other facilities, e6cept for 4M" ;)o. " paper machine<, the Pankee dryer of 4M$, and the
digesters for the bagasse pulp, the pressure at the :4 steam header is set at #.2M4a. 'ince drain
attack is not a concern because the e6traction steam is sufficiently superheated, the pressure
could be decreased to #.$M4a or less ;although it would be necessary to check with the
manufacturers as to the blade strength, thrust bearings, etc. first<. -his would increase the
e6traction power generation by %#k7/t O 2#t/h N 2##k7, decreasing the condensation power

9< -he e6haust temperature of the condensing turbines and e6traction condensing turbines is too
high.
-he values of 2B-9" for the condensing turbines are too high and even those of +B-$9
for the condensing e6traction turbines are relatively high. -he water used is cooled in cooling

output from the condenser tubes.
In addition to the increase in power generation, %#L or more can decrease the amount of

;"< 4roblems and recommendations relating to evaporators and recovery boilers
%< -he wastewater from the bagasse pulp contains large amounts of calcium silicate and calcium
o6alate derived from the large amounts of calcium silicate in the fresh water and bagasse, and
this causes a serious problem with tube staining. -aking this problem into consideration,
:(3(' Mill always alternates the use of )o. % evaporator and )o. " evaporator, while the
other is being cleaned in a five-vessel quadruple-utility operation. Cowever, it is also
necessary to wash the other three evaporators. 0y raising the design value for the
concentration of rich black liquor from +>.?L to $2L, the amount of generated steam per unit
of solid content is increased and fuel costs are reduced. In addition, corrosion of the I., and
other parts are reduced due to the decrease in the use of heavy oil with high sulfur ;'< content.
-he profit from this is e6pected to be 'M"#,###/y.
"< It is recommended that the supply vessel used be changed from Z2 vessel to Z$ vessel.
'ince the temperature of the dilute black liquor supply can reach ?2-B#, the liquor should be
supplied to Z$ vessel, whose design vaporization temperature is >#->2. -his will save energy
because the steam vaporized in Z$ vessel can then be used as heating steam in Z2 vessel. -he
profit from this is estimated to be 'M>,9##/y.
+< -he 3= content can be as high as 2ppm, whereas the remaining =
"
content in the e6haust gas
can be as high as >.#L.
'ince the ma6imum allowable 3= concentration in the e6haust gas is "#ppm, this value does
not cause an environmental problem. Cowever, it is still important to control the 3= content
in the recovery boilers. (ach recovery boiler has four in!ection burners for the black liquor,
but only three are used at present. 'ince this causes non-uniform combustion, decreasing the
size of each burner should use all four burners. 0ecause a large amount of supplementary
heavy oil is used, the remaining =
"
content will then be reduced to "L or less, resulting in an
increase of generated steam by about +L. -he profit from this is estimated to be 'MB?#/y.
$< It seems that considerable amounts of )a=, )a3=
+
, and )a'=
$
are dispersed in the e6haust
gas from the cascade evaporators used for the condensation of black liquor ;making use of the
heat of the e6haust gas from the recovery boiler<. -he recovery rate of )a=C could be
increased from 2#L to B#L or more by installing a scrubber to collect )a= V )a3=
+
and by
using 3a= of better quality. -he limestone being used at present is a yellow color, indicating
that its purity is low.
If +#L of this uncollected 2#L )a=C is then successfully recovered ;assuming that ?#L of
the design value is collected<, an annual profit of 'M9%+,>##;N X>#million< could be
obtained through the increase in )a=C recovery.
'ince the cost of steam is low, it is possible to install evaporators for drying the e6haust gas
from the scrubber, but it is better to utilize the heat of the e6haust gas from the heavy oil
boilers, whose temperature is "## or higher ;&s described above< for the condensation
process, since this would not require the use of any additional energy.
'ince the necessary construction cost is estimated at only about M$+2,### ;X2#million<, this

4ulp and scraps of paper are scattered all around the plant. -he campaign should start with the first
H+ 'JsI.
"< 'ince the surface temperature of the dryer groups is roughly equal and since there is no
difference in steam pressure between the dryer groups, the condensed steam draining from the
dryers is not always discharged satisfactorily. -his results in accumulation of the condensed
steam in the dryer cylinders causing an increase in the load on the driving motors.
3onsequently, only one doctor is used in the dryer and the others have been removed ;and
even the one remaining doctor does not actually work because it is kept raised<.
-he load on the doctors need not be large if they are well maintained. -herefore, all the
doctors should be reconditioned and put back into use. If doctors are not used, then
perforation and tearing are caused in the calender because paper scraps and powder residues
cannot be removed. In addition, adhesive materials attached to the dryer surface cause
pinholes in the paper and can adhere to the paper. -his may result in the paper tearing.
-herefore, all doctors should be reconditioned and restored.
+< In order to implement energy conservation, it is necessary to stop the process in order to in!ect
steam equally to all "# dryers in the steam drainage system, providing a pressure difference of
#.#$M4a or more between the dryer groups. If this is not done, the driving load rises making it
impossible to increase the speed. If such an improvement is carried out, the optimum speed could be
increased to >2#-%###m/min. 'peeding-up the process requires an increase in electric power
;proportional to the speed raised to the power of about "/+< and, since the steam consumption
rate is also improved, this results in significant energy conservations. Increasing the speed to
%,###m/min could increase the present ma6imum daily production of "$#t/day to 2##t/day. -his
would produce remarkable economic benefits. 'peeding-up the process can also be realized by
preventing paper break.
$< 7hen paper break occurs, the operation is often restarted without eliminating the causes of
paper break. -hus, the average resetting time can be as short as %".# min/reset, as shown
below, but another paper break may soon occur. =n 4M2, paper break sometimes occurs > to
%# times a day. .uring the +## days of operation per year, paper break accounts for %.+L of
the total operating time on 4M%, >.?L on 4M+, and $.#L on 4M2. -he effect of preventing
paper break is significant because the energy-conservation effects are doubled when the large
amounts of defective paper wasted before and after the paper break are also taken into
account.
In particular, 4M+ is out of operation for more than three weeks ;"+.$ days< each year. -he
Hzebra patternsI caused by the presence of adhesive materials are often observed on the paper
rolls at the +4 outlet of the paper press. 'uch stains must be cleaned off whenever a paper
break occurs. 'ince the removal of adhesive materials from the .I4 is not sufficient, the .I4

9< Repair costs in "### were only 'M%."## million, which corresponds to %.2L or less of total

'ince the labor costs for repair work in Indonesia are even less than those in 8apan, this value
are too low. 8udging from the present status of the plant, the decent facilities will deteriorate if
spending on maintenance is not increased to about ".2L. -he low operating rates of the paper

;2< Results and discussion of the investigation
%< Recent changes in the situation
4- A(R-&' has produced significant results by following the detailed advice for
improvements given in the previous energy audit in 8anuary "##%, and by implementing its
own improvements such as fuel conversion from heavy oil to natural gas. -he results of these
improvements have been reported at every 4R=M((3 'eminar 7orkshop making 4-
A(R-&' an Hhonor studentI among the participants in this pro!ect. Cowever, our impression
was that the e6ternal economic environment was worsening, and that the company was
fighting not only to save energy but also to keep operating smoothly. 7hen we visited the
plant, it was operating at less than half capacity with many ma!or facilities lying idle.
-herefore, the original plan to convert from gas fuel to coal was in !eopardy due to financial
restrictions.
7hile production in "### was about %+2,>## tons, recent production has been reduced to a level
of %"#,### tons. Ma!or changes in the operational situation are roughly as shown in the following
sections. Measures taken by 4- A(R-&' are also described. Duestions and answers are included
in Material )o. .-%#>.
a. 'hortage of raw material ;bagasse<
7hen we visited the plant, the depithing and pulpers were lying idle. bagasse is bought in from
sugar plants in 8ava, but shipments of bagasse have now decreased because, due to the recent
increase in fuel prices, it is now used as fuel within the sugar plants. -he following two
measures may be taken to address this problem.
- -o ask 4-4) ;4lantation (nterprises< to increase the supply of bagasse by using coal as
IV%$
a fuel instead. -his measure is e6pected to secure 9?,### tons in "##9.
- -o find alternative raw materials, including long fiber wood such as Aalimantan.
b. 'luggish sales of newsprint paper
'ales of newsprint paper are decreasing because newspaper companies increasingly
produce newsprint paper by themselves. <hough 4- A(R-&' e6ports newsprint paper,
production is decreasing. -he operation of the .I4 that treats used paper has therefore been
suspended. 3onsequently, )o. 2 paper machine ;4M2< has stopped producing newsprint
paper and is now producing printing paper instead.
c. nstable supply of natural gas
4- A(R-&' succeeded in reducing costs by converting from heavy oil to natural gas in
8une "##+. Cowever, the production volume of the natural gas field ;owned by a 4-
4ertamina-related company< is now decreasing and the pressure of the gas source supply is
also decreasing. ,or this reason, a quota system is now used for the natural gas supply,
which sometimes reduces daily production to "2#-+## tons. -o cope with this situation, the
amount of in-house power generation that uses natural gas has been reduced and electricity
is now purchased instead. -hey seem to be waiting for the discovery of new gas fields.
d. 4rice rise of heavy oil
<hough the consumption of heavy oil is not as large, the price of natural gas goes up so
too does the price of heavy oil. &s a result, the cost of fuel, as a proportion of the total
production cost, has risen from %>L to ""-"+L. -his value is comparable to the level
before fuel conversion, which was "$L. 4ossible measures for remedying this are as
followsG
- -o improve energy efficiency.
- -o convert the fuel supply yet again.
It was originally planned to convert from natural gas to coal in "##9, but this cannot now be
realized due to the lack of investment funds.

A=0(:3= model was newly installed after scrapping one of the screw type compressors
;commissioning had been carried out two weeks earlier, on )ovember "+<. In fact, four
compressors ;including two screw types< were on standby, showing that the utilized
capacity was very low.
&ll the operating air compressors are of large-scaled type, and use suction vanes for
capacity control so that the partial-load vs. power consumption characteristics is poor. 4ast
data on power consumption has been obtained and will be studied ;described later<.
-he control range of the discharge pressure is between #.92 and #.>M4a, which is relatively
high. -his range has probably been set after taking possible pressure drops in the piping
into consideration. Cowever, the actual fluctuation in discharge pressure is very small and
the pressure is kept at around #.99M4a. -his may be because the compressors are of the
centrifugal type.
3ompressed air is supplied through a receiver tank and dryer ;adsorption type<.
e. 7ater supply pumps
7e investigated water supply pumps that were representative of the utility facilities,
overall.
-he eleven water supply pumps have a large capacity of "##k7, and water is supplied to
each plant from three sites located outside the mill ;two sites in Ronggo!alu and one site in
'umber Aramat<. Cowever, when we visited, the facilities at only one site were in use
because some plants were out of operation. =n the day we visited, water was being supplied
from a water reservoir in Ronggo!alu, about %km from the mill, using only two out of the
five pumps installed on the line. -his is another e6ample of low capacity utilization.
-he power factor has been improved to B2L by installing phase advance capacitors on the
pump motors. 'ince a capacitor is installed on each pump, there is no adverse leading
power factor effect. -he electricity is supplied at a high voltage ;9k@<, which is
transformed to a low voltage ;$##@<, using a transformer of %,###k@& installed at the pump site,
before the current reaches the motors.
-his case is a typical e6ample of the measures employed to reduce distribution loss. -he
installation of phase advance capacitors was reported in the 4R=M((3 workshop held last
year.
-he preceding energy audit report described how the water is taken from wells. Cowever, the
actual feed water is taken from water reservoirs, and 4- A(R-&' has an obligation to the
government to supply a certain amount of treated wastewater for agricultural use in the
neighboring region.

&t ma6imum load, two air compressors are used to supply the compressed air. &s the load

the power consumption in the operation.
&s the load decreases, power consumption decreases in accordance with the partial-load
characteristic curve of the second M/3. 'ince the partial-load performance characteristics
are inferior to those at full load, the decrease in power consumption is slow and as much as
?2L of the power consumption at the ma6imum load is still required even when the load
decreases to almost ?2L ;N 2#L V %/" O >#L<. 7hen the load drops below 2#L, the
second M/3 stops so that only the first M/3 continues to operate. In this case, as shown on
the graph, the power consumption then follows the characteristics curve of the first M/3.
In these circumstances, power consumption then drops abruptly in the neighborhood of
2#L from ?2L down to about 2#L. -his e6plains why the HvacantI region is found in the
above graph.
c. 3ountermeasures
<hough the use of an inverter controller with superior partial-load characteristics is
desirable, in practice this is impossible because the ma6imum capacity of the e6isting
equipment ;>2k7< does not meet the required capacity of 2##hp. Cowever, using the screw
type compressor for load/unload control of the capacity control can reasonably solve the
problem.
,igureI@-"-B shows control conditions after the partial load and characteristics are
improved.
& turbo type compressor can be used for constant load operation in con!unction with a
screw type compressor whose capacity is controlled by the load and unload control. 7hen
the load is heavy, two compressors are operated. &s the total load decreases, the output of
the screw type compressor decreases and power consumption also decreases in accordance

with the decrease in output. 7hen the load reaches 2#L or less, the compressor of the
constant load air compressor is brought to a halt and only the air compressor whose
capacity is controlled is operated. 7ith this arrangement, the large HgapI in power
consumption, as shown in ,igure I@-"-9, does not occur.
-he improvement achieved depends on the distribution of the load factor. Cere, 2#L is taken
as the center of the distribution, and a normal distribution with "a ranging from # to 2#L and 2#
to %##L is assumed.
7hile the use of suction vane control increases power consumption by +?L relative to the ideal
control state, the calculation shows that the increase is %$L in the load/unload control, which
represents an energy conservation of about "2L. It is therefore recommended that the control
of e6isting screw compressors be investigated and the operating unit control panel be used for

turbo chillers ;?##R-< were not operating. -hey are operated during the dry season. sing the
&C, cold water for showering is prepared by e6changing heat with the cold water of the
chiller, and the cold water is then used to directly e6change heat with the air to provide cool
air for the building.
<hough the system is basically a circulating system, it is possible to take in outdoor air or
e6haust indoor air according to the enthalpy relative to outdoor air. -he temperature of the
incoming air on the day of our visit was "B.+`3.
+< &ir compressor
-he main compressors used are four screw type compressors driven by +#k7 motors. -hree
compressors were running on the day of the visit and the discharge pressure was #.>"M4a at
the receiver tank. -here was very little pressure fluctuation between the screw type
compressors.
<hough the person in charge e6plained that the compressors were controlled by load-unload
control within the range of #.92 to #.?M4a, no load-unload action was observed while we
were on the site ;about "# minutes<. -he air is supplied to the load equipment through a dryer.
Cot air is directly released into the environment and the condition of the indoor atmosphere
IV++
was fairly good when we visited. -here is both a compressor line and a blower line, and it
seems that the discharge pressure of the compressors can be reduced.
$< 4ower receiving system and the emergency generator
-he electricity is received at "#k@ and the system consists of two linesG one line that reduces the
voltage to +.+k@ using two main transformers ;%,9##k@&< and another line that directly reduces
the voltage to the low voltage used in the plant using a one-stage transformer.
'even low-voltage transformers decrease the +.+k@ to +?#@. -his two-stage step down
appears to be redundant and may be a historical result. -he main transformers are of an old oil-
immersion type equipped with a conservator and should be replaced shortly. It is also
necessary to reconsider the distribution system when doing this.
Cowever, since the output voltage of the emergency generator is +.+k@, some consideration
must be given to the type of linkage used.
<hough all the feeders are equipped with ammeters, watt-hour meters are only provided for the
three systems used for receiving power. (nergy meters are installed in all the workshops. Mr.
Mulyono e6plained that measurements were being made, but no measuring system was seen for
any of the utilities, including the power receiving system.

+." &dvice and Recommendations for ((53 &ctivities
&t the end of the meeting, the investigation team gave the following advice and commentsG
;%< Measures suggested ;in order of priority< based on the analysis of the power consumption data.
<hough it is appreciated that the members of the (3 3ommittee are dedicated to the
patrolling and collection of data on equipment use, how the data are analyzed is also important.
,or e6ample, the data may be classified according to the processes and areas concerned, but
they should be further classified according to use ;such as illumination, air conditioning,
compressed air, and pumps<. -he data should then be analyzed in order to set priorities based on
their importance and effectiveness for energy conservation.
;"< Aey points for selecting appropriate operating conditions and facility capacities
In the on-site survey, it was found that some facilities are oversized for the capacity actually
required. It is necessary to ad!ust their size according to actual operating conditions. It is also
necessary to maintain high efficiency in accordance with the fluctuating load. =ne e6ample of
an inappropriate specification is the air compressor outlet pressure of #.?M4a. -his value is too
high.
Mr. Mulyo said that #.?M4a was required to prevent thread breakage in cone winding, but the
pressure gauges for compressor operation and the receiver tank actually indicated #.>M4a.
;+< Aeeping efficiency high by carrying out regular maintenance
Maintenance plays an important role in keeping (3 efficiency high. ,or e6ample, periodically
IV+$
checking the leakage of compressed air pipelines and repairing when necessary is an effective
means of ensuring efficiency. 1rati 4lant e6plained that they check for leakages once a week.
;$< Investment in energy conservation is necessary in the future
It seems that 1rati Mill has either not invested in energy conservation at all or has carried out
only a small investment in energy conservation which has now finished. ,urther investment is
required to promote (3 in the future.
;2< &dvice and comments from Mr. 4arlin ;M=(< are as followsG
%< =penings on the vacuum suction part of the roller-beater used in the blowing process should
be closed.
"< 'uction air for the ventilation fan in the air compressor room should be taken directly from
outdoors ;where the temperature is lower than that of indoor air<.
+< @entilation in the main transformer room should be improved in order to lower the ambient
temperature.
+.+ Recommendations for Improvements and (6pected (ffects
-he following are recommendations for improvements proposed by (338 ;in addition to the
advice and recommendations described above<.
;%< 3ontrolling the cold water temperature of the turbo chiller
-wo ?##R- turbo chillers are installed. <hough detailed operating conditions are not known, the
general principles of energy conservation using cold water and cooling water are as followsG -he
following conditions are required to increase the 3=4 of refrigerator operationG
- :oad factor ;N capacity ratio< should be higher.
- 3ooling water temperature should be lower.
- 3old water temperature should be as high as possible.
4ower consumption is e6pressed by Htotal power N power of cooling water pump V power of
cooling tower V power of refrigeratorI. &ll these components must be considered
comprehensively.
1enerally speaking, in any turbo refrigerator controlled by speed, the total power consumption drops
when the cooling tower is not controlled. Cowever, it is said that when controlled only by the
suction vane, the total power consumption still drops even when the cooling tower is
controlled. =ptimum operation patterns therefore need to be set, in relation to the season, and both
alternatives compared.
%< (nergy conservation by raising the temperature of the cold water
,igure I@-+-% shows the relationship between the cooling water temperature, cold water
temperature, and power required for the motor ;corresponding to power consumption<.

-his means that raising the cooling water temperature when the load is light can reduce the
power consumption.

It depends on the method used to control the capacity of the refrigerator whether it is better to
save the energy of the cooling tower by fi6ing the cooling water temperature at +"e3 or to
save the energy of the refrigerator by lowering the cooling water temperature according to the
decrease in the wet bulb temperature. -he cooling tower and refrigerator should both be taken
into consideration when choosing the optimum operation pattern to use in order to save power.
