“ENERGY PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT USING AUTOMATION AND CONTROL APPLICATION IN FILLING LINE OF PAINT INDUSTRY”A MODIFIED REVIEW

Energy efficiency and Energy conservation are the key focus area to fulfill the Energy demand. The world is shifting from conventional energy sources to non conventional energy sources but Energy production is not only the solution, along with this, it is equally important to pay more attention to the efficient usage of energy, In India many industries are running day and night which consume power & where management of every industries are striving to reduce electrical consumption which ultimately reduces running cost of the plant. In order to reduce the overall energy consumption of the running plant, it is discreet to focus on any subtle and crucial part of the plant where continuous energy consumption takes place and to give justice to this concept we need to consider any manufacturing or packaging industry where we can provide energy efficient solution and hence I have deliberately decided to do research on Paint packaging industry where packing line continuously runs & consumes energy for all shifts in a day. This research throws some light on energy efficient solution to paint packing line. Under this research existing paint filling station is studied and electrical consumption in every unit is noted, along with this construction and working of each equipment, PLC logic of each line has been studied thoroughly & It was observed that if we replace some conventional & complicated units and its logic with modern simplified unit, we will be able to save lots of energy that means we can redesign existing line in order to make it more energy efficient. Here we have tried to propose possible modification in existing type of lines which are running in plants by improving design which includes reduction in cost of manufacturing as well as cost of compressed air consumption ultimately reduction in cost of electricity without changing output efficiency of the line.
