Paper Manufacturing Company Case Study

A paper manufacturing company approached us for an electrical load profile analysis, in order to determine the power factor correction requirements of their plant in Gqeberha

The load profile data that the company provided us with, gathered from their online meters, coupled with recent electricity bills, speeded up the process.

We visited the site in order to measure the harmonic levels present in their system and determine the installation constraints for the equipment.

The investment payback period of the recommended PFC equipment was estimated at approximately 10 months.

The recommended PFC equipment was installed in July this year and the savings materialised immediately, as predicted.

The whole process from the first interaction to project handover took less than a month.
