Heat Recovery & Compressed Air Savings at Tata Tinplate
- Client: Tata Tinplate Ltd.
- Industry: Steel & Metals (Tinplate)
- Location: Tatanagar
- Year: 2023
- Service: Detailed Energy Audit
- Focus: Heat recovery, boilers, compressed air
The Challenge
Tinplate manufacturing is energy-intensive across both thermal and utility systems. The client wanted an independent, measurement-based view of where energy was being wasted, and a prioritized set of opportunities backed by realistic savings and payback estimates.
Our Approach
- Baseline study of power, fuel and utility consumption with a walk-through audit.
- On-site measurements and instrument readings across major thermal and utility systems.
- Performance study of boilers, heat sources and the compressed air system.
What We Found
- Heat recovery: waste heat streams that could be recovered and reused to reduce primary fuel demand.
- Boiler efficiency: combustion and heat-loss improvements to raise thermal efficiency.
- Compressed air: leak reduction and pressure optimization to cut a significant, often-hidden electrical load.
The Outcome
Each opportunity was documented in an investment-grade report with savings, investment and payback estimates, so the plant team could prioritize implementation with confidence. Where measures are implemented, our monitoring and verification approach confirms that the expected savings are actually realized.
We don’t just hand over a report. We help clients understand priorities, evaluate feasibility, and actually move toward implementation.
