Toray Textiles saves energy thru Fuel+ from Maxsys

“The impact of energy prices means we are always looking to be proactive in energy management,” said Mr Fisher. “We have year-on-year objectives and targets, one of which relates to our boiler efficiency and to reduce the amount of gas consumed. We knew that Fuel+ would provide benefits in this area.”

The Mansfield site has three 35,000lb, gas fired, steam-raising boilers which act as duty, standby (for peak demand) and dry storage, and are rotated every 12 months. Fuel+ was installed on one of the boilers in December 2004. ABB were selected as the company to carry out an independent evaluation of the effectiveness of the Fuel+ system.

“The installation was carried out by Maxsys Ltd during our Christmas shutdown. In mid March 2005 we received a report from ABB showing a 5 per cent reduction in gas consumption per tonne of steam produced, as Maxsys had guaranteed,” said Mr Fisher. “We found that Fuel+ offered maximum return when demand was high, which is something that suits our operations at Mansfield. Overall it has provided us with a significant improvement in energy use.”

“Another advantage of Fuel+ is that it helps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being emitted,” confirmed Mr Fisher, “during a 20 day period 12,400m3 less gas was consumed than would have been expected if the Fuel+ had not been installed. I was so pleased with the results that we asked Maxsys to install a Fuel+ system to another boiler.”

Toray Textiles Europe Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Toray Industries Inc, the largest manufacturer of woven polyester and nylon fabrics in Europe.
