Chilled Water Heat Recovery & Steam Reduction at Indoco Remedies
- Client: Indoco Remedies Pvt. Ltd.
- Industry: Pharmaceuticals
- Location: Goa
- Year: 2023
- Service: Detailed Energy Audit
- Focus: Chilled water, steam, ETP blowers
The Challenge
Pharmaceutical plants run tightly controlled HVAC, chilled water and steam systems where energy efficiency must never come at the cost of compliance. The client needed savings opportunities that respected these constraints.
Our Approach
- Baseline review of utility consumption and operating patterns.
- On-site measurement of chilled water, steam and effluent treatment (ETP) systems.
- Performance study to identify recovery and reduction opportunities within compliance limits.
What We Found
- Chilled water heat recovery: opportunities to recover heat and reduce simultaneous heating and cooling losses.
- Steam reduction: measures to lower steam demand and distribution losses.
- ETP blower improvement: optimization of effluent treatment blowers to cut electrical energy use.
The Outcome
The audit delivered a prioritized, compliance-aware set of measures with savings and payback estimates — giving the facility a clear path to lower energy cost while protecting product quality and regulatory requirements.
Efficiency gains in a regulated plant must respect the process first. That is exactly where measurement-based, independent auditing pays off.
