Resumo:
The industry aims to increase its market share by reducing production costs. Therefore,
once electrical energy costs are significant on the final product costs composition,
improving energy efficiency in industries is one of the most constructive, cost-effective
ways to address the challenge of high energy prices. In this context, an energy
efficiency study focused in electricity consumption was developed in a sanitary ware
facture placed in João Pessoa, Paraíba. Firstly, an energy audit was made to define the
electrical consumption profile and to identify the sectors with more electrical energy
efficiency opportunities. As a result, improvements were studied and proposed to reduce
energy loss and eliminate energy waste. An action plan with the electrical efficiency
solutions will be built as part of a huge costs reduction project.
