Studies on Energy Management for Compressed Air in Cement Industry by Using Lean Principle

Energy is an ultimate source for performing any activities. It is defined as capacity or power to do
work, such as the capacity to move an object by the application of force. Energy can exist in a variety
of forms such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal. Energy will not be generated but it can be
transformed from one from to another. Energy resources are limited India has approximately 1% of
world energy resources but it has 16% of world population. The industrial sector comprised 51% of
global delivered energy use in 2007 and grows by an average annual 1.3% over the projection [worrell
Ernst 2004]. Approximately half of all industrial energy use is used in specific processes in the energy
intensive industries. Compressors are the devices plays major role in every process industries and
also a one of the major power consuming area. This paper seeks to identify and eliminate routine
wastes which cause higher energy consumption in cement process industry (ULTRA TECH
CEMENTS-RDCW) by using suitable layout.
