Save 20 -30% Energy Cost in Edible Oil Refineries using Pinch technology

Edible oil refineries can significantly enhance energy efficiency by 20–30% through strategic measures. At SEE-Tech Solutions, we implement Pinch Analysis, a scientific approach that minimize thermal losses and optimizes utility consumption across various process streams.

Key areas of focus include:

– Harnessing heat from hot outgoing streams like bleached or deodorized oil
– Preheating incoming crude or degummed oil
– Decreasing steam and cooling water usage
– Lowering coal and boiler utilization
– Using Ammonia chillers for triple advantage over 134a (20% higher COP, condenser heat recovery, refrigerant cost)
– Eliminating additional cooling circuits & reducing chilled water storage
– Reducing carbon emissions per tonne of oil

Our assessments at edible oil facilities have demonstrated over 20% energy savings and swift return on investment.

Is your motor taking a toll on your pocket?

IE4 and IE5 motors can significantly reduce energy costs when selected and applied correctly. Unlike older motor classes, their superior part-load efficiency, flatter efficiency curves, higher power factor, and compatibility with VFDs enable double-digit energy savings with payback under two years. However, maximum benefits come only when application, loading, sizing, drive selection, transmission method, RPM matching, and automation are evaluated together—making motor efficiency not just a product upgrade, but a system-level optimization.
