Important results from the project
The targets set were the following measurable targets IUC surveys and selects companies that are interested 5 Scanian SME industrial companies participate in this pilot All must have undergone an analysis of their compressed air systems All must have identified energy thieves in their systems All have implemented and/or planned measures to save at least 5% and/or shift energy use. All of these goals have been achieved and the variation between the different companies´ savings and savings potential is very good and profitable for all, both financially and environmentally!
Expected long term effects
The project has resulted in lasting and sustainable changes and the project has led us to put an end to waste in compressed air production in the SME industrial companies we worked with. It is still clear that it is difficult for the industry to identify and remedy, but that we have clarified something that they can easily remedy and contribute to environmental improvements and save money on. The solution also does not lead to suboptimizations or other negative consequences in other parts of society as we have only reduced leakage, unnecessary use and such.
Approach and implementation
The plan has held even if the selection of SME companies was initially more difficult than planned due to lack of knowledge of the SME industry (which was a the project goal). With it completed, the work with the respective analysis, action and review went well, even if some were delayed due to external circumstances and thus ended later during the project than planned. The result is beyond expectations and all parties are satisfied with the implementation and arrangement as well as the outcome. It is very clear that there is a great need and that the economic and environmental benefits are great.
