Análisis y mejoramiento de la eficiencia enérgica en la sección de servicios industriales y de producción en la planta de Freskaleche S.A.S. (Bucaramanga).

Abstract

The concerns regarding energy security, the social and economic impacts of the energy high prices, and the growing recognition of the climate change have led to many countries to put a greater emphasis in the development of political and measures that promote the energy efficiency. To achieve greater competitiveness and improvement in the production processes of any industry, it is necessary to have an energy mana gement system that enables to measure consumption, to determine its priority source of energy (thermal, gas, oil, steam, coal or electric), and to implement strategies for savings in this respect. In this thesis, internship mode, a diagnosis of energy cons umption was made regarding the production areas in the plant of Freskaleche S.A.S Bucaramanga, with the objective of making a proposal to optimize the energy efficiency in the company, which is based in the acquisition of a supervision and energy management system, in which data is acquire in real time to make a detailed analysis of the energy consumption in each one of the processes by having records and reports, to make decisions to optimize production processes allowing to determine the real costs of transformation. Several energy management software were studied to achieve control and monitoring of the energetic parameters used by existing equipment in the plant, the software that was the structural design of the system belongs to the networks provider and industrial communications Laumayer, who handle monitoring and energy management SYNERNY, which allows to control all the environmental and process data obtained from LOVATO Electric equipment. Having defined the equipment to use in the system, it was made the budget for its implementation and the return to the investment of the same allowing to display the improvements in the production processes of the plant.
