Total tightness focuses on concern for the environment, but not only limited to the economic aspect, but from the perspective of energy efficiency, as future generations will need the resources wasted today.
Much is discussed about the future of our planet. Experts from around the world have started to look for alternatives that can reverse global warming and its terrible consequences for the world's climate..
To reduce the volume of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, we need it more than ever stimulate the search for energy efficiency. In the industrial environment, where the Energy waste still reaches significant volumes, we can certainly contribute a lot, mainly with regard to tightness.
Some companies believe that the cost of wasting energy in their processes is irrelevant, but they do not consider how much it really affects their competitiveness, directly and indirectly, as it reduces their energy efficiency.
A energy efficiency can be achieved through the elimination of stoppages in production processes, by not indirectly emitting energy to the environment (losses of steam, liquids and raw materials), by maintaining a regular flow production, without interruptions, in addition to the choice of products built to last.
Every production system has a performance curve that only reaches the ideal point after a certain manufacturing pace. It is this rhythm that guarantees the product's quality, and whenever it is broken there is loss of raw material, energy.
When production is interrupted for routine maintenance, energy consumption does not cease, as in most cases it is not possible to simply turn off the lighting system, the boiler, the compressed air system and others that must operate continuously in the industry . All of this is energy loss, which leads us to a direct equation: less maintenance = greater energy efficiency.
By investing in more effective and durable, we will be saving valuable resources in the form of energy, raw materials and inputs, which today seem endless - but are not. The idea of tightness aims to preserve these resources.
The most important part is our children and grandchildren's future. Concern for the environment cannot only consider the economic aspect, as future generations will need the same elements that we are wasting today.
Ways to increase energy efficiency in the industry:
- Reduce waste;
- Reuse inputs and raw materials;
- Reduce maintenance interventions;
- Stimulate the smooth flow of production, without interruptions.
