Abstract

This study highlights energy savings that could be realized in a fertilizer plant through application of various energy management options to reduce energy expenditure through efficient use of available energy resources. Energy audits were done as reference point for monitoring progress of measures put in place. It also revealed many opportunities for savings in coal usage, steam utilization and correction of electrical power factor. At the same time preserving the environment, by reducing emission of greenhouse gases which pollute the atmosphere.
