Legislation is changing and by April 2022 the use of red diesel will be disallowed for most sectors that use this reduced duty option. The alternative is white diesel or an alternative fuel with the outcome being site running costs will increase.
ESE can carry out a power analysis study at site to monitor power being supplied by both generators and mains. This analysis will allow us to advise on transferring all loads to mains power or sizing the correct generator, all of which will save the site operator money.
Client
Waste Management Company
Market
Recycling
Project
The client was running its operations using adiesel generator on site in conjunction with amains supply
Problem
The client has onsite diesel generators powering some of their recycling plant and will haveto change to the use of white diesel as opposed to red diesel from April 2022. This willcause the site running costs to increase considerably. They have a mains supply but arenot sure if the capacity is sufficient for full siteoperation.
Technical Solution
ESE Ltd carried out a power analysis study to record the exact power usage and ascertain the split between mains and diesel generation. A capacity check took place in conjunction with this via the site energy provider. The capacity check allowed all of the site power to be drawn from the mains without the requirement of an upgrade. We were then able to modify the electrical distribution on site to accommodate this and the client saves in excess of £10,000 per annum.
