Oklahoma Case Study

An oil field chemicals manufacturer in Oklahoma identified 9-energy savings opportunities through an energy study in December 2004. They developed the detailed engineering for the 9 measures with an interest to implement all of them. After detailed engineering in Aug 2005, they decided to implement 6 of the 9 measures. The 6 measures were implemented a week before 2005 Christmas. Between 2004 Dec & 2005 Dec, the natural gas price went up by 30%.

Today they recover back 50% more condensate, the Economizer in Boiler increased their boiler feed water temperature by an average of 25°F. Their waste water drain has come down by an average of 5000 lbs/hr.

The reason behind this success story is neither a New technology nor a Manager loaded with lots of money. It is the persistence of the management that believed in reducing energy wastes in their process operation.
