Though they may use similar steps or processes, no two manufacturing companies produce their products in exactly the same way. EPS knows this because we’ve worked with many leading manufacturers of a diverse range of products including cement, asphalt, steel, glass, carpets…even sunglasses. Despite their differences, all of these companies have realized the benefit of learning to operate their facilities with less energy and carbon emissions….without impacting the quality or production speed of their operations. So whatever unique product you manufacture, let EPS help you make it more efficiently – we’re up to the challenge.
Some EPS customers include:

Success Stories:

Cogeneration Project

A global building materials company was interested in capitalizing on a Demand Response offering for some of its facilities as a way to reduce its energy expenses.   EPS managed the program from the early stages, performed audits, then analyzed and prepared the Technical Assistance report.  EPS assisted the client in identifying four sites that provided the best opportunity for demand response.  EPS also implemented the innovative industrial control system necessary to achieve the goal of reducing demand by more than 6.0 MW during the contract period.

The net result: The company implemented 7.747 MW of demand reduction over four facilities at no cost and benefits from lower energy costs by participating in this program.

Cogeneration Project

EPS Corp performed an extensive energy analysis of the cogeneration system for a home furnishings manufacturer and identified several areas of improvement.  EPS analyzed the existing thermal system, which included both the jacket water and the exhaust stack.  EPS developed a solution to use the jacket water to preheat the boiler feedwater.  This allowed the stack economizer to be devoted to heating air used in other areas of the facility, such as process heating in an oven.  The modified heat recovery system reduced the load on the natural gas-fired oven, resulting in substantial gas savings.

The net result: 95,337 therms of sustainable annual savings and $95,366 annual cost savings.

Energy Efficiency Project

On behalf of the Southern California Gas Company, EPS Corp conducted an energy efficiency audit for a popular sportswear producer.  Part of their manufacturing process includes painting, which produces volatile compounds that are currently destroyed using a thermal oxidizer.  With the addition of a new painting line, the existing thermal oxidizer did not have sufficient capacity to support the operation. EPS analyzed this process and determined the Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) and energy savings that could be achieved with a new thermal oxidizer.  This included pre-heating the combustion intake air and installing a variable speed drive on the combustion air fan.

The net result: Annual savings of 23,205 kWh, 20,356 therms, and a cost savings of $19,070.
