Impact evaluation of an Energy $avings Plan project at Lenroc Company/Moorman Manufacturing
This impact evaluation of an energy conservation measure (ECM) that was recently installed at Lenroc Company/Moorman Manufacturing (Lenroc/Moorman) was conducted for the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) as part of an evaluation of its Energy Savings Plan (ESP) Program. The Program makes acquisition payments to firms that install energy conservation measures in their industrial processes. The objective of this impact evaluation was to assess how much electrical energy is being saved at Lenroc/Moorman as a result of the ESP and to determine how much the savings cost Bonneville and the region. The impact of the ECM was evaluated with a combination of engineering analysis, financial analysis, interviews, and submittal reviews (Lenroc/Moorman`s Abstract, Proposal, and Completion Report). The ECM itself consists of installing two heat exchangers to recover waste heat from a process water line to preheat incoming process air. The air and water are used in a proprietary process to produce biuret, a cattle feed supplement derived from urea. Energy savings resulting from this ECM are expected to be 339,400 kWh/yr. On a per ton basis, this ECM will save 56.6 kWh/ton of biuret. The ECM cost $15,754 to install, and Lenroc/Moorman received payments of $9452 from Bonneville and $3933 from Grant County PUD for the acquisition of energy savings for a net cost to Lenroc/Moorman of $2369. Without the acquisition payments from Bonneville and Grant County PUD, this ECM would not have been implemented. The levelized cost of these energy savings to Bonneville will be 2.3 mills/kWh over the ECM`s expected 15-year life, and the levelized cost to the region will be 4.0 mills/kWh.
