BP37 - Recover air leakage
| Address: Soc Trang Province | |
| Name of the Manager: Ashton Chang | |
| Project Summary: In response to the energy efficiency program of Adidas brand, a textile and dyeing enterprise in Soc Trang Province has implemented the project of pneumatic system improvement. The goal of the project is to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. | |
| Year of implementation: 2018 | |
|
Status before implementation A remarkable amount of compressed air was leaked from the valves and joints. The factory used manual condensate drain valves, causing stagnant water to corrode pipes and joints and damage to the equipment using compressed air; If the drain time is too long, compressed air will be wasted, thereby increasing the power consumption of the air compressor.
Leakage point and manual drain valve in storage tanks In addition, the compressors operate continuously even during lunch breaks. The compressor room temperature was quite high compared to the ambient temperature.
|
Result Many improvements have been made to the compressed air system such as fixing compressed air leakage, installing automatic condensate drain valves, shutting down air compressors during lunch breaks, and enhancing air ventilation in the compressor room.
Fixing the leakage and installing a new drain valve kit In addition, the factory issued regulations to operate compressed air effectively, requiring technical staff to comply strictly.
