Optimise Savings

The In-Site system provides extremely detailed reports and information. Most of the reported information is 'telegraphic' identifying immediately areas of concern as well as areas of opportunity.

"At the lowest possible cost" is a goal to which most sites aspire, some sites being more proficient than others in controlling costs. Either by having modern plant or, more importantly, an awareness of plant/system deficiencies and where improvements can be made.

The In-Site system provides the means to identify cost saving areas, our personnel provide the necessary expertise to deliver the potential cost savings.

Potential cost saving areas:

Improve product recovery: lower product wastage, higher yields. Reduce risk of impact on effluent loading

Identify waste of resources: establish areas of cost savings, reduce water and energy demands

Verify plant operations: provide evidence of due diligence. Reduce risk of quality failures

Monitor plant utilisation: generate maintenance & service reports. Log system alarms and failures. Identify causes and reduce 'lost' production time due to persistent faults.

Improve CIP interfaces: prevent loss of detergent solution to drain or recovered rinse tanks. Prevent unnecessary dilution and cooling of hot detergent solutions.

Optimise program timings: eliminate extended rinse cycles, reduce overall program duration possibly 'freeing-up' CIP system for additional cleaning duties.

Monitor 'Benchmarks': The In-Site Viewer identifies immediately any variance to cost and energy benchmarks., (entered into the In-Site setup files). Establish why any such variance occurred using the Verification and Cost Analysis Reports.

If a CIP system with 12x cleans/day could save 5 minutes of rinse water per clean, what are the potential annual savings.

Assume flow of 300 ltrs/min and water/effluent cost of £1.50 m³ and cleaning is conducted 6 days/week, 50 weeks/year.
