Technocoat

In Chassieu, the Technocoat factory (OPTITEC Group) specializes in surface treatments. Its processes improve the characteristics and lifespan of treated materials. However, the processes used are very energy-intensive.

To reduce this consumption, management and Mostafa Naga, project manager, decided to implement an energy sub-metering system to take stock of the situation and estimate potential savings. Thanks to ENKEL communicating sensors, the sub-metering system was implemented very quickly so that action could be taken immediately. The results are impressive. By scheduling machine shutdowns and startups, repairing compressor leaks, and adjusting pressure parameters, the site's overall consumption, which could sometimes reach 2.5 MWh, now remains below 1.5 MWh. Based on these results, sub-metering was extended to burners and gas consumption, and today, all processes are controlled and optimized.
