3 PREFACE

We have been allotted an assignment of Walk Through/Preliminary Energy Audit at M/S.
Arabian Flexible Packaging Industry, Dubai.
We thank you for the belief shown in us. We appreciate the initiative taken by the
management in energy saving.

Our Electrical, Mechanical and Thermal team has worked independently on both the sides.
We are presenting a report based on measured energy data and historical data related to
energy consumption collected from the plant during the audit.

An effort has been made to calculate specific energy consumption for material conversion
along with assessing first level efficiencies of utility equipment like AHUs, ACs etc.

We have made an attempt to analyse present energy recording and energy monitoring
system prevailing in plant and have included our comments regarding the same. We strongly
recommend computerized EMS system communicating with strategic energy meters installed in
the plant. This would generate timely energy data with accuracy automatically and would allow
staff to work on energy conservation than on just logging the history. Such a system can even
generate specific energy consumption figures on daily basis.

The audit team had individual experts in electrical, utility and thermal field, as such expert
third-party evaluation of energy use was done in the plant and this report is prepared on the
basis of this evaluation.

We are thankful to the management and Maintenance team for providing a sincere and
enthusiastic support to all the Energy Auditors and support staff during the
Audit/Measurement Phase.

All the key areas of concern were openly discussed and they really helped us to direct our
efforts towards the company goals and objectives.
We would like to mention here that all the recommendations included in this report are
executable at the plant level. Exact quantification and converting these ESOs (Energy Saving
Opportunities) into ECM (Energy-saving measures) would require a detailed study, where ever
mentioned. We also would like to state here that we possess all the necessary skills and
infrastructure through our own setup and with our associates, to execute the recommended
projects and help you in achieving end results.

Thanking you once again and wishing you all the success in your “Save Energy Mission”.
