Resumen
The global warming resulting from the use of fossil fuels is putting pressure on governments to formulate and adopt energy policies aimed at different sectors of the economy. One of the most significant measures in this direction is industrial energy efficiency, a subject that concerns SMEs. An SME was identified in the Valle del Cauca region that recognized the economic and environmental need to have a more efficient system, especially in energy consumption. The company that met the requirements La Dispense Natural S.A.S, bread company whose main product is whole meal bread; a company to which during its time of operation has not been made a study of energy performance, which leads to ignore whether they make an adequate use of energy either electrical or in the form of heat, which can cause inefficiencies in their processes.
Keeping these aspects in mind, in this degree work an energy audit process was implemented in the bakery company La Despensa Natural S.A.S, according to the guidelines of ISO 50002; structuring the stages of the audit process, using a flow diagram; obtaining and analyzing historical and current energy performance, which allowed determining that the energy consumption of the plant is not associated with production; identifying different opportunities for improving energy performance for equipment with higher consumption and therefore greater savings potential; evaluating these improvement opportunities, which are linked to the change of operation and maintenance; and generating recommendations that make it possible to make correct decisions regarding energy consumption and thus reduce costs of this nature.
This work was carried out within the framework of the Project: Industrial Assessment Centers - IACs, developed by the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente with funding from UPME and UNIDO
