Energy pre-diagnostic in an animal feed manufacturing plant

The objectives of an energy pre-diagnosis are:

• to increase the awareness of company executives of various energy-related aspects

• to produce an energy, technology and regulatory balance sheet for an animal feed plant, by means of a brief inventory

• to assess the plant’s potential energy savings

• to guide the company’s “energy” approach by suggesting areas for improvement (simple actions, actions requiring investment, etc.) and/or by preparing one or more in-depth studies (a general well-instrumented diagnosis or specialist diagnosis relating to a part of the manufacturing process, compressed air, steam, etc.)

• and/or to respond to a specific energy-related problem (for example: optimisation of the operation of a centralised metering and energy management system).
