Alliance Group Levin Hot Water System Upgrade
Alliance Group - Levin
Hot Water System Upgrade
26% Reduction in Thermal Energy Costs With a 1.5 Year Payback on Investment
Problem
DETA undertook a level 2 energy audit at Alliance's Levin site. Through the audit, we identified that the site was consuming twice as much steriliser water as was required.
Solution
We developed a project, using Alliance's capex process, to both reduce the flow of the sterilisers and improve the heat recovery system at site. As part of this, we also included flow metering so that the hot water consumption could be managed and monitored.
Outcome
Thanks to the short payback, we also included upgrades to the hot water system, such as lining a hot water tank, to make the system more robust and reduce ongoing maintenance costs.
