Metercom II software
Metercom II monitoring software launched by Spirax Sarco aims to help companies save energy by applying more effective Monitoring & Targeting (M&T) programmes. With industrial gas users typically facing fuel price hikes of over 130% between 2004 and 2006, effective M&T can cut energy bills by at least 10% through simple good housekeeping.
Metercom II is a PC-based software package that provides automatic meter reading and reporting facilities for all steam meters. It can also monitor other utility meters such as gas, oil, water, air and electricity. In fact, any meter that has a pulsed or 4-20mA output can be read.
Using their expertise in Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Stockport based AV Technology (AVT) have identified the reasons behind a recurring bearing problem on a large electric motor operating at Solvay Interox
An obvious first step towards cost saving when producing compressed air might be to instal the most economical compressor for the job. But that is only a part of the story. Moving from traditional galvanised steel to Legris
Plant operators could be wasting thousands of pounds in fuel because their water treatment supplier is failing to monitor the phosphate levels of raw water for their steam systems. And the situation could get worse as water utilities strive to meet tightening European drinking water regulations.
According to the European Drinking Water Directive, water supplies must not exceed 25 microgrammes of lead per litre of water, reducing to 10 microgrammes from 25 December 2013. To meet these limits, water utilities commonly dose water with phosphate to inhibit lead from old pipes leeching into the water supply.
However, many steam system operators may not be taking account of these added phosphates, so are not adjusting their water treatment regime accordingly. Consequently, excessive phosphate levels could cause scaling of the internal surfaces of steam boilers, reducing their efficiency significantly.
