Avantis’ long standing execution capability linked with modern and proven engineering knowledge provides a solid basis to offer plant optimisation solutions.

Our team are energy optimising experts, specialising in power island & infrastructure output efficiency, committed to the maximisation of plant potential yield through detailed engineering analysis & conditional monitoring. Offering a complete and practical approach to efficiency.

Our solutions look at what is currently happening, apply a sound theoretical view and combine this with what is practical to enable the equipment to have a maximisation of efficiency in line with its commercial gain.

Energy Management

Services Performed

  • Electrical & Energy Audits

    • Ensuring direct on line starters are replaced with soft starts
    • Change out of constant drive starters with VFD
    • Change out old motor design with new low energy motors
    • Install power factor correction devices
    • Change out on board lighting systems to LED from fluorescent
    • Ensure all control systems are operational
    • Measure all existing parasitic loads and review with a view to reducing these
    • Switchboard surveys (thermographic imaging)
    • Surveys to replace old type mechanical coil relays with modern electronic control relays
    • Replace air operated mechanical actuators with power consumption electrical actuators
    • Review of the HVAC and refrigeration systems to ensure smart controls and starters and motors are utilised
    • Ensure compressors system is inspected and there are no air leaks present
    • Ensure hydraulic system is inspected and confirm there are no leaks present and accumulators are operating so jockey pump does not start and stop continuously

  • Marine System Audits

    • Sea water cooling systems
    • Central cooling systems
    • Parasitic load confirmation performance review
    • Thermal surveys
    • Cargo operations

  • Thermal Audits (Steam plant & waste heat systems)

    • Chemical cleaning of boilers water side
    • Mechanical cleaning of boilers fire side
    • Correct setting of combustion air to ensure optimum combustion takes place
    • Insulation surveys to ensure thermal insulation is in good order and heat is not being lost (thermographic imaging) or recommending higher k rating
    • Cleaning of condensers to ensure condenser operates at maximum efficiency
    • Ensuring steam traps are operating efficiently
    • Ensuring fuel oil tank heating coils are intact and not leaking
    • Minimising external steam leaks through leaking flanges and valves
    • Optimisation of system operational parameters to suit actual requirements such as reducing boiler pressure.
    • Advising on new retrofit options such as new control circuits on the system utilising VFD such as the FD fan and condenser cooling water pumps
    • Reducing the pinch point of exhaust gasses to capture additional heat which can be turned into steam by increasing the surface area of the WHRU.
    • Conversion of existing burners into more efficient Low NOX Burners working with strategic partners.
