Audit

Evaluative review of an integrated utility island including water, steam and electrical distribution plant supplying 1,000,000 lbs/hr of steam, and 60 MW of electricity to identify supply risks.

Operating reviews of boilers for various manufacturing facilities ranging in size from 10,000 lbs/hour to 400,000 lbs/hour. FSI calculated the risk and cost benefit for upgrading options and suggested the most cost-effective improvements.

Energy systems audit used to support cogeneration at a US Petroleum refinery.
