1.0 Introduction

This report is previous paper continuation of “Saving Techniques: optimization in Boiling water consumption” in which it is willing to debate the role of energy saving in industrial sector such as steam generators. The result of previous paper shows us positive influence of energy saving on boiling water consumption in the public sector while we will not have the same outcome in industrial Boiler system. Why? According to IEO 2010 Reference case, total energy consumption in the world industries will increase an average of 1.3 percent per year from 2007 to 2035. In addition, worldwide industrial energy consumption is equal to 184 quadrillion Btu in 2007 and 262 quadrillion Btu in 2035 whereas total world energy consumption is equal 495 quadrillion Btu in 2007 and 739 quadrillion Btu in 2035. Consequently, industrial energy consumption in the world is approximately 35 to 37 percent of total sum world energy consumption. Besides, only 30 percent of total energy consumption for industrial productions (outputs) is used by the steam energy. Therefore, the influence of energy saving by using of steam on the growth of total energy consumption in the world is negligible.

Why should we increase the efficiency of steam generators?

It is due to competition among industrial companies in the world.

IEO2010 stated, there are five industries that they consume the half of total energy in industrial sector as follows:

-Chemicals 22%

-Iron and steel 15%

-Non-metallic minerals 6%

-Pulp and paper 4%

-Nonferrous metals 3%

Among industries, Pulp and paper manufacturing and Petroleum refining and...
