EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Energy itself is growing issue at present scenario and its effective management has growing scope in the field of industrialization. As Industrial Engineer, we must have sound knowledge of energy management, which would be integral part when we enter the field of our engineering. This is the main reason behind selection of “Energy Audit”. The project is supervised by Er. Bhisma Pandit(senior energy expert) and audit instrument support from Thapathali Campus and IEMP. The project is carried with permission in Pashupati Filter Candle Udhyog (LPG LPG Regulator Division)and Country foods Pvt.Ltd. Energy audit is the verification, monitoring and analysis of use of energy including submission of technical report containing recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption. It is carried in three phases, preliminary audit, detail audit and post audit phase. With the authentic test procedure and instrument provided, we performed energy saving calculation and recommended various measures suitable for industries specifying financial investment and payback period. At the beginning, preliminary data was taken on energy share and financial saving was evaluated based on same data. After the energy audit performed under the supervision, we compiled report and presented in both industries. We discovered different areas of energy saving like excess air control in furnace, use of capacitor bank, condensate water recovery, DG loading etc. The project emerged to be successful both from technical and financial point of view. The financial saving from both industries is quite appreciable with the measures recommended by our project team. To attain objective of project wasn’t easy we had great challenge in industries confirmation and certain practical limitation. At last, the group team effort made it possible on time.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DEFINITION
Energy audit is defined as the verification, monitoring and analysis of use of energy including submission of technical report containing recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption.
Need for energy audit:
Three top operating expenses are energy (both electrical and thermal), labor and materials.
Energy would emerge as a top ranker for cost reduction
primary objective of Energy Audit is to determine ways to reduce energy consumption per unit of product output or to lower operating costs
Energy Audit provides a “ bench-mark” (Reference point) for managing energy in the organization
Type of energy audit
The type of Energy Audit to be performed depends on:
Function and type of organization
Depth to which final audit is needed, and
Potential and magnitude of cost reduction desired
Thus, Energy Audit can be classified into the following two types.
1. Preliminary Audit
2. Detailed Audit
16. Energy Audit
Final Year Project | 2014 15
1. Preliminary Audit
Preliminary energy audit is a relatively quick exercise to:
Establish energy consumption in the organization
Estimate the scope for saving
Identify the most likely and the easiest areas for attention
Identify immediate (especially no-/low-cost) improvements/ savings
Set a ‘reference point’
Identify areas for more detailed study/measurement
Preliminary energy audit uses existing, or easily obtained data
2. Detailed Energy Audit
A comprehensive audit provides a detailed energy project implementation plan for a water distribution and water treatment facility, since it evaluates all major energy using systems.
This type of audit offers the most accurate estimate of energy savings and cost. It considers the interactive effects of all projects, accounts for the energy use of all major equipment’s (Like pumps, electrical motors, transformers, electrical system lighting etc. and includes detailed energy cost saving calculations and project cost.
In a comprehensive audit, one of the key elements is the energy balance. This is based on an inventory of energy using systems, assumptions of current operating conditions and calculations of energy use. This estimated use is than compared to utility bill charges.

2 POTENTIAL OF ENERGY AUDIT IN NEPAL: Nepalese industries offer a huge potential to cut production cost by using energy more efficiently. The energy makes the machine to operate and form the product/service that industry is willing to give its customer. Nepalese industry still lack in energy awareness and it is necessary to quantify energy saved equivalent to money saved because it is what attracts the management and motivates to take step to save energy. Energy audit had emerged in Nepal only 4-5 years ago so it is still beyond the approach of many industries in Nepal that haven’t realized how fruitful it is to them. It is necessary to motivate the industries as it has increased production with the increase of energy consumption. We always have problem of limited resources and energy available is limited and should be optimized in consumption. A drop of petroleum product saved per day also results in higher saving when calculated in long term. The saving of fuel counts a lot from environment and financial point of view. The more the energy is consumed the more saving opportunities can be discovered. We can see large amount of potential in Nepal for energy audit as it is just in growing phase and energy is consumed in large amount.

5 LITERATURE REVIEW: 5.1 EXISTING TECHNOLOGY Energy performance assessment consists of several instruments that facilitate the energy audit in simple way. Energy audit has flourished in construction and building at international level but it is still in progressive phase at Nepal. The concept of energy audit is increasing in Nepal in past few years. The concept of energy audit not only confined within the energy saving but also simultaneously helps in establishment of safe working environment within the industries. The measures which assists in energy saving will also helps in safety management of machines, equipment, materials and method of work to be performed Table 5.1: Energy Audit Instrument
Energy Audit Instrument with image
Description
1.Flue Gas Analyzer:
Used for optimizing the combustion efficiency by measuring/monitoring the oxygen and CO levels in flue gas of boilers, furnaces etc. and calculation of CO2 percentage in excess air level and efficiency.
2.Luxmeter
Used for measurement of illumination level. Illumination levels are measured with a lux meter. It consists of a photo cell which senses the light output, converts to electrical impulses which are calibrated as lux
22. Energy Audit
Final Year Project | 2014 21
3.Tachometer:
In any audit exercise, speed measurements are
critical as they may change with frequency, belt
slip and loading. A simple tachometer is a contact
type instrument which can be used where direct
access is possible.
4. Fyrite kit:
A hand bellow pump draws the flue gas sample
into the solution inside the fyrite. A chemical
reaction changes the liquid volume revealing the
amount of gas. A separate fyrite can be used for
O2 andCO2 measurement.
5. Anemometers
Anemometers are used to measure airflow and
volume at registers and in ducts. Vane
anemometers measure airflow independent of the
air density making them ideal for many
applications where measurement without the need
for corrections is desired. Hot Wire anemometers
are used for low velocity measurements and
require corrections for high accuracy
measurements. Hot wires are ideal for airflow
measurements at fume hoods and other low flow
applications.

Final Year Project | 2014 22
6.Infrared thermometer
A non-contact or infrared thermometer allows the measurement of temperature without physical contact between the thermometer and the objects of which temperature is determined.
7. Ultrasonic Leak detector Ultrasonic leak detector is used to detect leaks of compressed air and other gases which are normally not possible to detect with human ear. 8. Clamp meter Clamp-on meter or power analyzer are used to measure main electrical parameters such as KVA, KW, PF, Hertz, KVAr, Amps, and volts. Some of these instruments also measure harmonics. Instant measurements can be taken with hand- held meters, while more advanced ones facilitates cumulative readings with print out as specified intervals. These are very useful instruments for measuring above parameters in a wire without having to make any live electrical connections

5.2 SWOT ANALYSIS Strength Habitual with industrial environment Emerging topic in present scenario Familiar with production activities Weakness Equipment limitation Lack of authentic data for baseline It isn't mandatory (strategic issue) Opportunity Career development Energy and cost savings Personal relationship with industrial personnel Threat Minor miscalculation may lead to false output Rejection of energy audit performance due to confidential information of company 5.3 EXISTING POLICY: There is limited policy made by the Government of Nepal for the energy audit and it’sManagement to be done in the industrial sector. But there is a government project namely “Industrial Energy Management Project” (IEMP) which is doing energy audit for the industries and also providing some trainings and seminars to the Energy related professionals and industrial workers. Beside energy being the major problem in the country, wastage of energy in the industrial sector is major problem. The GoN had no strong and effective policy regardaing the energy management in Nepalese industries. Energy audits are not mandatory in Nepalese industries.

Final Year Project | 2014 24
5.4 RELATED ORGANIZATIONS:
The Energy Efficiency Centre (EEC) under FNCCI is the implementing partner of NEEP component-3. EEC is a not for profit autonomous body which aims to provide energy efficiency services to the Nepalese industrial sector. Other organizations like IEMP and CNI are working in industrial and commercial sectors to manage energy consumption with proper utilization and management through Energy Auditing.
5.5 INTERNATIONAL VS. NATIONAL
Energy audit is just at growing phase
Lack of energy auditors in Nepal
Energy audit isn’t mandatory and there is no legal provision.
Lack of complex energy audit instrument.
Limited organization uplifting and encouraging about energy efficiency.
At international level we can even find energy audit in buildings and construction.

6.4 TEST PERFORMED
Boiler Efficiency test:
Boiler efficiency can be calculated by two methods namely direct and indirect method. We applied direct method for the calculation of boiler efficiency. The percentage output in the form of steam with respect to fuel input is calculated as efficiency.
Efficiency (h) = 푄1∗(ℎ2−ℎ1) 푄2∗퐺퐶푉 표푓 푓푢푒푙 * 100 %
Where,
Q1 = Quantity of steam generated per hour
Q2 = Quantity of fuel consumed per hour
h1 = Enthalpy of inlet feed water
h2 = Enthalpy of steam generated
GCV = Gross Calorific value
Furnace Efficiency test:
We applied direct method for the calculation of furnace efficiency. The amount of metal melted is weighted and the fuel consumed is measured. The efficiency is calculated by following formula
Efficiency (h) = 푚퐶푝(푡2−푡1)+푚푙 푄∗퐺퐶푉 표푓 푓푢푒푙 * 100 %
29. Energy Audit
Final Year Project | 2014 28
Where,
M = mass of metal melted (kg/hr)
Cp = specific heat capacity of metal (KJ/kg-hr)
T1 = initial temperature of metal (0C)
T2 = melting temperature of metal (0C)
L = latent heat of melting of metal (KJ/kg)
Q = Quantity of fuel consumed (Kg/hr)
GCV = Gross Calorific Value. (KJ/kg)
Excess air test
The air intake in the boiler through FD was measured. The instrument used to measure the flow of air was anemometer. The percentage intake of air via FD with respect to the theoretical air requirement of the fuel is calculated as excess air quantity.
Excess air quantity: 푄1 푄2 * 100%
Q1: Quantity of air inlet via FD (kg/hr)
Q2: Quantity of theoretical air required for combustion of fuel (kg/hr)
Q1 is calculated by measuring the inlet velocity of the air via FD and the diameter of FD opening. The air inlet is obstructed by the damper.
Q1: 푣푒푙표푐푖푡푦 표푓 푎푖푟 ∗ 푎푟푒푎 표푓 푐푟표푠푠 푠푒푐푡푖표푖푛 표푓 퐹퐷 ∗ % 표푓 푢푛푑푎푚푝푒푑 푎푖푟 푖푛푙푒푡 푠푝푒푐푖푓푖푐 푔푟푎푣푖푡푦 표푓 푎푖푟
In case of theoretical air requirement, the amount of actual air required will be about 20- 25% more than the theoretical air requirement. The theoretical air requirement for various fuels is listed in appendix.

7.4 ENERGY AUDIT AND SAVINGS
7.4.1 Air Compressors:
During our trial, we find significant loss of compressed air on the pipeline as well as in the compressor itself. We perform free air delivery test (FAD) and leakage test on compressor to quantify the losses. From our trial and testing, we came to following conclusion
Significant savings can be made by tracking the losses of compressed air in pipeline
Loss of pressure in cylinder, if compressor is standby which can be eliminated to have significant saving
Efficiency of compressor can be increased by decreasing the room temperature of compressor room in summer days.
Losses of compressed air in pipeline and savings:
FAD test
P2 = 1.097 kg/ cm²,
Po =12 kg/cm²,
V = 420lit= 0.42m³,

FAD = (P2-P1)/Po * (V/T)
= (12-1.0197)/1.0197 *(0.42/6.1)
=0.7414 m³/min
(Where P2=final pressure, P1= initial pressure, Po= atmospheric pressure in kg/cm² T=time taken to build P2 pressure in min

Compressed Air Losses Due to Plant Shutdown
The cylinder of the compressor must hold the pressure with the maximum decrease of pressure not more than 5%, if compressor is not connected with the supply. The significant decrease in pressure indicates the leakage in valve of compressor or joints of cylinder. Such leakage in compressed air facility increases with time if not accounted. During our trial over 7.5 kW compressors with cylinder capacity 420 liter, we found that the pressure in the cylinder drops to ‘0’ in the morning even if it was maintained in 9 kg/cm2 before shut down.
Quantification of loss and savings
Time to raise pressure to 9 kg/cm2 = 7.65 min (0.1275 hrs)
Leakage in terms of kWh/day = 0.1275 x 7.5 = 0.95625 kWh
No. of days of operation = 280 days
Annual leakage in kWh = 280 x 0.95625 = 267.75 kWh/year
Average cost per unit (Rs/kWh) = Rs. 13.75/kWh

Energy loss due to the location of Air Compressor:
The efficiency of the compressor highly depends upon the temperature of the inlet air. The efficiency of the compressor decrease with the rise in room temperature of compressor room. Higher the temperature more the work compressor needs to do to compress the air hence more power is consumed. It is that for every rise in 40C in room temperature the efficiency decreases by 1-2% for the single stage and 2-3 % for double stage compressor.
Details of compressor room
No. of compressor = 3
Height of roof = less than 10 feet
Roof type = zinc coated plates
No. of windows = 1
Temperature in winter days = 20-25 0C
Temperature in summer days = 30-35 0C
We can increase the efficiency of the compressors by decreasing the room temperature of the compressor room during summer days. We can maintain the room temperature to 20- 25 0C, during summer days simply by covering the roof externally or internally.

A Diesel generator sets of 125 KVA each, provide the backup in case of power failure.
Maximum Demand variation and Charges:
The billing demand charged by NEA is seen to be 80 kVA though the actual demand recorded is less. This is because the contract maximum demand of the plant is 160 kVA and NEA charges demand charge for 50 % of the contract maximum demand or actual demand recorded in the Energy meter (whichever is higher).

Capacity = 1000 kg F/A at 1000C
Fuel used for boiler = wood (low grade, pine wood bark)
GCV of fuel used = 3200 kcal/kg
No of hours running = 6 – 8 Hours Per day (depending upon requirement)
Efficiency calculation of boiler
By direct method
Type of boiler = Wood Fired
Quantity of Steam (Dry) generated = 0.133 TPH = 133.33 kg/hr.
Steam pressure (gauze/temp) = 8 kg/cm2 at 1500C
Quantity of wood consumed = 0.07 TPH = 70 kg/hr.
Enthalpy of steam at 8 kg/cm2 @ 1500C =2516 KJ/kg
Enthalpy of inlet fed water at atmospheric pressure at 200C = 84 kJ /kg
Efficiency (h) = { 1000 * 0.1333 * (2516 – 84)}/ {0.07 * 1000 *3200 * 4.2}
= 34.45 %
Evaporation Ratio = 133.33/70

Final Year Project | 2014 54
Efficiency of boiler is found to be extremely low, so as the evaporation ratio. This is because the boiler is operated with low loading. Lower the loading lower will be the efficiency. The boiler is operated with approximately 20% loading. Besides loading efficiency of boiler can be increased by quantifying and minimizing the losses some which are discussed in this report
Excess Air calculation For Boiler:
Air is pushed via FD in the boiler. From our observation, we found that the boiler is operated automatically. The running and rest time of boiler depends upon the pressure of supply line. If the pressure of supply line is high, that is the steam in supply line in not being used the boiler remains in rest condition during this state no air is blown by the FD. From our inspection and the demand requirement we concluded that the run time is 2/3 of total operating hours..
For 1 hour operating time
We have, Run time = 40 minutes
Rest time = 20 minutes
Average speed of air = 3.825 m/sec
Diameter of FD = 38 cm (0.38m)
Volume of inlet air = 3.825 * (p * 0.382)/ 4 *0.70
= 0.303 m3/sec
(Note= 70 % of air is allowed to pass through the FD by damping phenomena)
For an hour of operating time, we have air inlet as
=40 * 60 * 0.303
= 728.78 m3/hr.
56. Energy Audit
Final Year Project | 2014 55
= 607.31 kg/hr.(Specific gravity of air is 1.2 kg/m3)
Wood consumed in an hour = 70 kg (average)
Theoretical air requirement for low grade wood= 6.5 kg/kg of wood
Total theoretical air required in an hour= 455 kg
Excess air % = (607.31/455) %
= 133.4 %
Savings from air adjustment
We know we can’t get good burn without some excess air. In case of low grade wood the practically required air to burn is somewhat 20% - 25% excess than the theoretical air requirement. So the actual air requirement be;
Actual air requirement= 455 + 0.25 * 455 = 568.75 kg/hr.
Excess air supplied =(607 – 568.75) = 38.25 kg/hr.
Heat loss from excess air =mcpdt
= 38.25*1 * (200-25)
= 6693.75 kj/hr.
Amount of fuel saved =heat loss by excess air / gcv of wood
= 6693.75 / (3200 * 0.3445)
= 6.07 kg of wood/hr.
= Rs. 42.5 / hr.

Condensate Recovery System
Steam condensate carrying lot of heat energy from the pasteurization process which is flowing out in the drainage can be recovered for the proper utilization and energy saving. Heat carrying condensate, can be pumped into the feed water tank in the boiler to save successive amount of heat energy. Calculations from the data taken during audit, condensate and its recovery with cost of system to be applied with its payback are calculated as below:

Losses from Steam Trap Quantification
We know during the flow of steam in supply pipe, some of the steam loss heat to the tube surface and form condensate. Such condensate formed cannot be further supplied but are needed to be separated from the steam. The steam trap performs the function to separate steam and condensate so that only steam is supplies further. Steam trap releases the condensate through pipeline connected. During our observation, we found some steam leakage from the pipeline connected to steam trap. That means the steam trap is not functioning properly. The losses due to improper functioning of steam tram can be quantified as below.

10 CONCLUSION
Almost all industries from small, medium to large scale uses energy and this energy cost carries high percentage of factory overhead. In case of energy management process, they are not doing suitable methods of procedure and utilization, this result heavy energy cost due to losses. With the possibility of energy efficiency practices and technology, it is possible to cut down energy cost significantly in the industries without altering the productivity. Safe working environment can be obtain within the industry through the process of energy auditing as it involves various measures to improve efficiency of the machines and equipment which also maintain the safe operation of the machineries and equipments.
Proper methodology of operation, effective utilization, management and improvement of energy related works can produce massive savings. But there are several constrains for energy auditing in industries which significantly affects in auditing works. With proper policy from governmental sector for the energy, auditing some percentage of energy crises going within country can be minimized.
