Foundry being an energy intensive industry, energy accounting is necessary to determine where and how energy is being consumed and how efficient is the energy management system. An energy accounting method should define the areas of high energy use, energy waste and should point out areas in which energy saving can be accomplished. To arrive at the energy consumption pattern is the main part of the energy audit process. Energy pattern can be used to understand the way energy is used in a foundry and helps to control energy cost by identifying areas where waste can occur and where scope for improvement may be possible. Energy management is very important as it deals with adjusting and optimizing energy, using systems and procedures so as to reduce energy requirements. This paper presents a case study of energy required to produce a ton of liquid metal in four foundries. This gives an idea of the current energy consumption of the foundries, which can be compared with standard norms and can be used to implement deviation control methods. This paper also explores the various avenues for energy savings and cost control.
