Identifying Drivers of Energy Intensity and the Value of Benchmarking
Eastman Chemical Company developed a model that quantifies the effect of product mix, capacity utilization, non-manufacturing energy use, improvements made through maintenance work (such as repairing steam leaks and adding insulation), degradation (low hanging fruit grows back) and capital improvements. By developing this model, Eastman found that more effort should be put into maintenance work and maintaining the gains achieved. In particular, an evaluation of the number of steam leaks identified ultimately led to a change in materials of construction used for steam tracing and additional staff to manage maintenance for steam piping.
