EFICIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA NO SETOR PRODUTIVO DE UMA INDÚSTRIA DE INJEÇÃO DE PLÁSTICOS

Abstract

The electricity consumption and costs grew in Brazil after 2000, thus justifies and motivates a search for energy efficiency. The objective of this paper is to present a study of the application of indicators to assess energy efficiency in an industry of plastics injection. A sampling methodology was data electricity consumption and production of a particular product injected. We applied the indicator specific energy consumption and energy efficiency indicator for the analysis of energy efficiency. The survey results allowed: a discussion of how to evaluate, compare with the parameters themselves and international. Identify possible improvements as an energy savings of over 10%. Concluded that applying the proposed methodology can identify energy savings and parameters for decision making in energy management and industrial. Keywords - Electric power, energy efficiency, energy efficiency indicators, plastic injection industry, productive sector.
