5.4 Energy
Taghleef Industries S.p.A. manufacturing processes consume electric and thermal energy produced
from methane combustion. For some years now an accurate measurement system for electric energy
consumption has been installed in order to have a detailed monitoring and management of the
energy consumption by tons of film produced.
Electric energy
Electric energy is used in all processes, from the fusion of raw materials, at nearly 250°C where it
is necessary to assure workability of the material, to the motorized devices used to transport and
manufacture the products. Part of the electricity consumption is caused by the utilities necessary to
the process, mainly refrigerated water and compressed air.
In 2009 a new cooling plant
was installed (see Section 6) allowing the company to obtain a
significant reduction of energy
consumption.
