RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
& CLEANER PRODUCTION AUDIT
CONDUCTED IN FEB 2015

5. AUDIT OBJECTIVES

6. (national energy efficiency targets)
To ASSESS THE USAGE of ENERGY and WATER and major consumers in the production process
(national energy efficiency targets)
IDENTIFY opportunities for INCREASED EFFICIENCY and RECOVERY of resources within these areas (target driven)
To evaluate/recommend EFFICIENCY MONITORING PROGRAMMES

7. KEY FOCUS AREAS

8. TO STRENGTHEN OUR POSITION AS INDUSTRY LEADERS in EFFICIENCY
STEAM >50% REDUCTION
ELECTRICAL ENERGY >20% REDUCTION
WATER >50% REDUCTION (MUNIC SUPPLY)
TO STRENGTHEN OUR POSITION AS INDUSTRY LEADERS in EFFICIENCY

PRIORITISED IMPLEMENTATION OF OZONATED WATER FILTRATION PLANT WITH UV (MEMCON)

10. A LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS
Clean water prior to distribution to municipal storm water drain
Water for applications throughout the factory
For uses other than in end products
Suitable for end product for future purposes

11. A LOOK AT THE SCIENCE
1 Factory effluent enters effluent plant and solids are removed.
2 Water is filtrated in effluent plant.
3 Blender mixes 25% municipal and 75% reworked filtered water.
4 Ozonated filtration removes bacteria.
5 Only 75% goes into filtration plant where it is ozonated into a silo.
6 Goes through UV system back into the factory.

12. IMPLEMENTED WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM – COST-BENEFIT
CAPEX R 2M
Projected 75% reduction in municipal water supply
Projected annual direct saving R 1.35M
Investment break-even 18 months
