It is an energy audit that analyses power consumption in industrial plants in two specific areas: electrical and thermal. In the electrical area, it takes into account the type of contracted tariff and its load distribution, identifying hourly consumption, peak hours, power factor, etc., to obtain electrical use efficiency. Later, an analysis of the ideal system versus the real one detects the opportunities for power optimization by areas applying the concept of “Energy Conservation Opportunities (ECO’s)”. For the thermal area, an energy balance is made. This is integrated taking into account the analyses of emissions to the atmosphere to comply with the NOM’s. The combustion systems, loss of heat, etc. are analyzed, calculating the degree of thermal efficiency. With these results, the areas for optimization are recommended.
