Operational excellence
When
used during a unit run, ITW Online Cleaning is a powerful tool to improve Operational
Excellence.
After
an ITW Technology application, the unit will start up under clean conditions,
thereby eliminating or reducing the bottlenecks and/or the inefficiencies
experienced during the run.
ITW Online Cleaning’s
ease of application and effectiveness rapidly restores operations even under
severe climate conditions, thereby recovering efficiency without the need to
wait for better conditions.
ITW Online Cleaning
application during a unit run allows achieving the following benefits:
- increased run length
-
increased productivity
-
reduced downtime
-
improved HSE
-
improved reliability
-
improved
product quality
-
improved
energy efficiency
-
reduced
airborne emissions
-
reduced
emission taxes to be paid
-
reduced
maintenance and repair
-
reduced organizational requirements
Return on investment
ITW Online Cleaning is the only technology which has an immediate return on
investment (ROI).
At unit start-up (just after 24h, ITW Technology
has been applied), all the benefits are immediately monetized in terms of:
-
Improved throughput
- Improved energy efficiency
- Improved product quality
- Reduced emission taxes
Regular application of ITW Technology will target an
increased run length under clean conditions, with a far higher ROI.
In this connection, the earlier the application the
earlier the benefits.
Operational costs reduction
By reducing furnace fuel input, ITW Online Cleaning will immediately reduce operational costs.
A further contribution in operational cost reduction
will arise from pumping cost reduction, following delta P reductions
Emissions reduction
The overall energy consumption reduction will
translate into a lower fuel consumption and hence a reduced emission level.
Apart from the environmental performance improvement,
always remarkable in terms of the company’s overall performance, this will
lead to an emission taxes costs reduction.
