Hi everyone,

Here is the recording of Clariant’s TrendLab presentation. In this session, David Judersleben (Assistant Plant Manager) ​@DavidJudersleben presents an use case on Clariant's energy management system, highlighting how it efficiently optimizes energy usage, reduces CO2 emissions, and lowers operational costs.

About Clariant's Energy Management System:
The Knapsack site of Clariant in Germany, a producer of flame retardants for construction and coatings, uses TrendMiner for continuous improvement in energy monitoring.

Key Benefits of Using TrendMiner:

• Identifying energy waste, generating project ideas for improvement
• Substituting traditional lab analyses with real-time process monitoring
• Enhanced predictive maintenance
• Effective management of energy top-load
• Comprehensive project visualization
• Alarm raising and deviation tracking to preclude penalties due to excessive energy consumption

One of the most significant achievements realized through this system is the optimization of heat integration in Clariant’s P205 plant, resulting in an impressive 75% reduction in steam consumption.

A custom dashboard facilitates this process by enabling process engineers, shift leaders, and other key stakeholders to monitor heat integration performance seamlessly and share valuable insights across the organization.
