Case Study

Olefin Site Energy Performance Excellence Analysis Identifies up to 30M USD in Annual Energy Savings

The operator realized a 23 Energy Intensity Index™, EII® point reduction, and electricity savings and a reduction in carbon emissions for their aromatics units, ethylene plants, and utilities.

Challenge

An international ethylene producer desired a reduction in carbon emissions and to address previously identified significant energy consumption gaps of 34M USD for ethylene plants and 29M USD for aromatics units.

Solution

Solomon’s used its Performance Excellence Process™ (PEP™) to assess the current energy performance and recommend energy reduction items for aromatics units, ethylene plants, and utilities.

Results

30M USD in annual savings in utility systems opportunities were identified which would result in a potential net reduction in EII of 23 and corresponding lower carbon emissions.
