Abstract

South Africa's increasing cost of industrial energy has recently caused the country to be ranked among the top five countries in the world with the most expensive industrial electricity tariffs. For various reasons, energy is often not optimally used in industry. According to Zavanella and Zanoni (2009), there has been a growing interest in more rational and responsible consumption of energy, especially in industrial processes and services. This research study demonstrates the use of technology for energy efficiency in the industry, in order to reduce energy consumed per unit produced on industrial process plants.
