Compressed air recovery from the process machine
Within the field of compressed air, we seek for savings not only in modernization of the compressor room or elimination of leaks - there are ways of modernization which allow for the compressed air recovering and returning it to the process. Such modernization is recommended to companies from the plastics industry.
Manufacturing of plastic parts usually consumes a very large amount of high-pressure air and at the same time generates high energy-related costs. Inflatable air is usually released into the atmosphere at the end of the forming cycle of an element. It is worth investigating whether there is a possibility to build a system which would allow for recovery of the compressed air, while still having the sufficient residual pressure, and which could be used for operation purposes.
In the analyzed case, we were able to reduce the amount of produced air by 29.5%, with investment having the payback period of less than 2 years. We saved 713,324 MWh / year.

In 2014 the R&D department started to work in our company. We design solutions to improve energy efficiency in industry.
On 22 June 2016, DB Energy signed an agreement with the National Centre for Research and Development to co-finance R&D work for a project called "Development of an innovative drive diagnostics system (DiagSys) based on electrical signal measurements characteristic of mechanical damage to rotating machine components, together with a specialized analyzer of machine operating status and efficiency (APPS 3)".
The project is financed under the Intelligent Development Operational Programme 2014-2020, under sub-measure 1.1.1. "Industrial research and development work carried out by enterprises". No. of the competition: 1/1.1.1/2015. Value of the project 5 974 021.85 PLN. Value of co-financing 3,727,676.11 PLN.
The aim is to develop a system for the diagnosis of rotating machines (DiagSys system), which will be based on the use of power measurements and on-line access to an expert database.
