Operational Challenge, Approach, Measurement and Value

fuel per tonne of product

The asset base is fixed in the short term, fuel can be a major controllable operating cost, and the improvement has to be proved in the client's own operating environment before it can be scaled.

Operational challenge

Thermal fuel cost and combustion performance in burners, furnaces and boilers.

  • One-week comparison
  • Signed by the plant's production team

On a furnace-oil system at a copper products plant near Hyderabad, measured fuel use fell from 44.48 to 40.26 litres per hour (9.5%) in a one-week comparison signed by the plant's production team, using DeCarb Furnace Oil Plus, tested under its earlier name, FO Plus.

Results are specific to the equipment, period and method recorded, and are not a guarantee for other operations.

Measurement

What we measure

Value is established for one operation at a time. Consumption and performance data are measured against baseline using the method agreed before the trial.

  • Fuel per tonne of product or another controlled thermal metric

Potential business value

Thermal fuel-cost opportunity where technically suitable.

Sector-specific business-value assessments can be developed from the client's own operating baseline and verified performance data.

Product relevance is established by technical evaluation of fuel grade, equipment category, duty cycle and operating conditions, not by sector alone.

Illustrative Opportunity Estimate — not a performance commitment. Actual performance must be established through your own baseline and controlled trial.
