RESOURCE EFFICIENCY & CLEANER PRODUCTION
AUDITCONDUCTED IN FEB 2015
AUDIT OBJECTIVES
• To ASSESS THE USAGE of ENERGY and WATER and major consumers in the production process
(national energy efficiency targets)
• IDENTIFY opportunities for INCREASED EFFICIENCY and RECOVERY of resources within these areas (target
driven)
• To evaluate/recommend EFFICIENCY MONITORING PROGRAMMES
KEY FOCUS AREAS
• STEAM >50% REDUCTION• ELECTRICAL ENERGY >20% REDUCTION
• WATER >50% REDUCTION (MUNIC SUPPLY)
TO STRENGTHEN OUR POSITION AS INDUSTRY LEADERS in EFFICIENCY
• STEAM• ELECTRICAL ENERGY
• SOLID WASTE
WATER
PRIORITISED IMPLEMENTATION OF OZONATED WATER FILTRATION PLANT
WITH UV (MEMCON)
A LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS
Clean water prior to distribution to municipal storm water drain
Water for applications throughout the factory
For uses other than in end products
Suitable for end product for future purposes
A LOOK AT THE SCIENCE
1 Factory effluent enters effluent plant
and solids are removed.
2 Water is filtrated in effluent plant.
3 Blender mixes 25% municipal and 75% reworked filtered
water.
4 Ozonated filtration removes bacteria.
5 Only 75% goes into filtration plant where it is ozonated into a
silo.
6 Goes through UV system back into the
factory.
