Electrical Energy Conservation Analyses of the Wood Products (SIC24) (Standard Industrial Code) Industry in the BPA Service District : Mill Summary Report : Northwest Hardwoods, Inc., Centralia, Washington.
As a result of an ongoing and aggressive electrical energy conservation program the remaining opportunities for conservation are limited. There are opportunities for conservation which, when taken as a group, may add up to a fairly significant energy savings opportunity. However, there do not appear to be any single large conservation opportunities within the mill. A few of the conservation measures identified have payback periods of less than two years and so may be attractive to Northwest Hardwoods. Some of the conservation measures have costs to the region, calculated by BPA-specified methods, below 52 mills/kWh and so would be attractive to BPA. Installation of variable speed fans in the kilns may meet BPA criteria and should be evaluated further. The cost and savings of some of the measures, such as replacement of electric personnel heaters and repair of compressed air leaks must be quantified on an individual opportunity basis. Motors that could be shut off during periods of low production may be left running.
