PERSPECTIVES OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN INDUSTRIES : PERSPECTIVES OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN INDUSTRIES / PERSPECTIVES OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN INDUSTRIES : PERSPECTIVES OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN INDUSTRIES

Dhivya Nandhini Dayanandan, Dhivya Nandhini January 1994 (has links)
Now a days, there is lot of alternatives available, which provides green and renewable energy. Through these alternatives, the consumer’s demand for energy is being satisfied. It is important to use the available energy in a systematic and efficient way so that there are many benefits. The purpose of this study is to briefly identify the various prospects, problems, and policies for energy efficiency in industries. Basis of purpose on the negative impacts caused due to the increased use of energy consumption in industries. This literature study is based from practical examples of industries, industrial applications and other new technology. As the electric motor system operates most of the industrial processes, the electricity consumption of motors in industries accounts for two thirds of total energy consumption. Influencing energy efficiency in industries provides substantial advantages. Various motor applications such as pumps, fans, air compressors, cooling compressors, variable speed drives is studied for their operation and working conditions. The utilization of energy efficient technologies to a greater extent can perceive savings to the industries. In spite of being aware of potentials of using energy efficient technologies in industries, energy efficient technologies are not widely used. A barrier to energy efficiency is explained as a practice that inhibits the industrial decision of being efficient in terms of energy and finance. The barriers consent with energy efficiency in industries is fair enough to be considered, while compromising energy for temporary prosperity is not upright. Influence of increased energy efficiency in market areas need coordination of all industries and commercial area throughout the country. The coordination between the industries and commercial sectors can be closely achieved by raising energy policies and energy regulations. The energy efficient policies are considered as cognizance for market transformation and this can maintain the industry, the environment, and the energy. The options available for market transformation are enormous. It is suggested to implement the energy efficient policies as energy efficiency is important for sustainable future. By adopting the right policy, at right situation can provide enormous benefits to the process, industry, and nation. A basis of energy efficiency in industrial application can provide potential energy savings for the present and future industrial situation. This can provide a balance between INDUSTRY-ENVIRONMENT-ENERGY.

De forma pioneira no país, a indústria química brasileira investiu na construção de um relacionamento entre as indústrias do Pólo e a população residente no seu entorno, através da constituição de um CCC formado por representantes dessa população. Neste trabalho, foram avaliados os documentos relacionados à formação e ao funcionamento do CCC, além das observações in loco, feitas por este pesquisador, como agente ativo no processo. Inicialmente, fez-se uma revisão de literatura sobre o assunto e seus pontos de referências. Esta pesquisa exploratória serviu de fundamentação teórica aos processos de análise crítica sobre o funcionamento do CCC no período de 1994 a 2001 e seus respectivos rebatimentos sobre a gestão de SSMA no Pólo. Desenvolveu-se uma análise crítica quanto às influências desse Conselho sobre a gestão de Segurança Industrial, Meio Ambiente e Saúde Ocupacional (SSMA) do COFIC no Pólo. O Conselho Comunitário Consultivo tem oportunizado a ambas as partes (indústria/comunidade) o exercício da parceria e da convivência. O trabalho conclui que, em função dos resultados obtidos através da aproximação do Pólo com suas comunidades vizinhas, o Conselho Comunitário Consultivo contribuiu para a melhoria da gestão, pelo COFIC, da Segurança Industrial, Meio Ambiente e Saúde Ocupacional no Pólo. Destaca-se a criação dos Núcleos de Defesa Comunitária para o Plano de Emergências da Comunidade e a melhoria na gestão da prevenção de acidentes com contratadas no Pólo. / This dissertation aims to study how the creation of the Community Advisory Council (CAC), in 1994, by the Industrial Committee of Camaçari (COFIC) affected the relation between the industry and the local community. This initiative can be seen as an experience of Corporate Social Responsibility towards nearby communities, under the Responsible Care Program, a pioneer initiative in Brazil, undertook by the chemical industry. The Community Advisory Council has been a window of opportunity for both industry and community, to exercise partnership and co-operation. A critical analysis of the outcome of the work of this Community Council towards improving Health, Safety and Environment management was developed. At first, a literature review was undertaken and a theoretical framework was drawn which was essential for the critical documental analysis that followed. The documentation about the CAC operation between 1994 and 2001 and its influence on the COFIC decision making process was analysed and the study was complemented by in loco direct observation. It has been possible to conclude that a close relation between Camaçari Industrial Complex and nearby communities resulted from the CAC implementation and this has been contributing to the improvement of COFIC Health, Safety and Environment management on the complex. Moreover, two aspects that can be emphasised are: a) the establishment of Community Defense Centers related to Communities Emergency Plans and b) the improvement on the prevention of accidents involving contractors in Camaçari Complex.
