Industrial facilities

Many industrial complexes have extensive - and growing -- district heating and cooling systems, and growing demands for electricity. An increasing number of industrial facilities also have "mission-critical" energy requirements. The cost of downtime in some industrial facilities, such as biotechnology plants, is extremely high. The combination of district energy systems, combined heat and power (CHP) or other on-site power generation, and thermal energy storage can significantly boost energy supply reliability.

FVB Energy has successfully served the energy system needs of industrial facilities in North America and Europe. For information about some of FVB Energy's work for industrial facilities, click here.

Any industrial facility with a relatively large heat load should study the possibility of reducing their energy bills by installing Combined Heat and Power (CHP). FVB Energy can evaluate the technology options and assess the economic feasibility and design the CHP installation.

As facility requirements increase and thermal distribution infrastructure is added, it is essential that system expansion be designed to maintain or increase reliability and control operating costs. FVB Energy to help you accomplish this through distribution system planning and modeling.
