Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.
Define the product line and separate heating, cooling, cleaning, sterilisation, evaporation and utilities.
Batch or throughput data, temperatures, steam, hot water, refrigeration electricity, cleaning schedules, product losses and operating hours.
Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.
Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.
Confirm food-safety, hygiene and cleaning requirements before changing equipment, temperatures, recovery systems or insulation construction.
Review boilers, steam and condensate systems, hot-water loops, vessels, valves, pumps and heat exchangers. Record washdown and access requirements.
