in the engineered glass bead market
• PQ Corp. spans over 50 countries employing more than 3000 people
• The 3 local (Australian) manufacturing facilities are split into two business units ,
“Industrial Chemicals” and “Engineered Glass Materials”
• EGM
Glass Beads
Sunshine
Hollow Microspheres Dandenong
• Industrial Chemicals
Alkali Silicates
Dandenong
Sydney
• The Dandenong facility operates in 24/7 while the Sunshine and Sydney facilities
are 5 day operations.
• Combined, the sites employ approx. 65 personnel
Energy History & Data Systems
History
• Energy is a major operational cost and accordingly energy reduction
programmes have been a focus for the business for >10years
• As a result, some energy monitoring and analysis systems were in place
prior to the EEO program and many projects had already been completed
Systems
• Existing
• Monthly data capture (Essentially Total Energy Use Only)
• Live process data but NOT energy capture
• Data Analysis - such as measuring production efficiencies vs. costs
Our Approach
The EEO program guidelines provided the outline of our approach by
ensuring the following actions:1.
Gaining “Commitment” from Senior Management
2.
Establishing an “Energy Team”
3.
Developing a Program Plan covering the “Key Elements” of the
Program
4.
Establishing “Program Structure”
5.
Setting “Timelines” for actions
Energy Management Groups
For each Business sector we established Steering Management Groups which
included an Energy Management Champion to ensure the overall program did
not stall. Each Team had responsibilities and accountabilities assigned.
Example:
Project Phases
We utilised an existing model for the project. This model similar to the EEO

Planning & Support Systems
To ensure the program was controlled we established a Project Plan and had
existing support systems to assist manage any information developed such as:

Policies
Procedures & Instructions
Records or Data Information
Without these systems we may not have been able to complete the program in
the timeframe we did
Data Collection
Due to an internal personal change Potters joined the EEO program late and
we’re behind schedule in data collection.
Establishing the Baseline
To enable analysis of usage patterns and identify the operational areas of
greatest opportunity Potters embarked on a rigorous 3 month data collection
program.
• A log of all equipment which utilized electricity was generated.
• This log encompassed both operations and support and included
every item from major cooling fans down to the coffee machine.
• The energy rating (kwh) was recorded against each item and for
those with VSD operational trends were analysed.
• Data collection templates were generated for each part of the
operation (Sales, Laboratory, Logistics, Furnace, Dissolvers, etc.).
• Every staff member on site was responsible logging equipment use in
their area on an hourly basis. It should be noted however that most
staff updated once daily based on best recollection.

Data Collection
Establishing the Baseline (continued)
The data was compiled and the total energy use for both electricity and gas was
compared against the supplier invoiced quantities.
Despite inaccuracies involved in manual collection the relative usages
aligned very closely for both natural gas and electricity.

* Sydney was not included due to the relative size and energy use.
Due to the good alignment it was agreed this data could be considered a valid
representation of energy use patterns.
Data Analysis - Trending
• Establishing the Baseline (continued)
• Trend data was used to isolate events that may skew data, for
example, maintenance shutdowns, breakdowns, etc.
Data Analysis - Trending
• Operational efficiency for each product type was also conducted using
trends. This information allowed costs to be assigned to products
which in turn could be used to develop sales and marketing strategies
• Trending also showed the benefits of timer controlled heating in
administrational areas.
• Clarified the relationship no link between shift and efficiency.

Data Analysis - Pareto
• Establishing the Baseline (continued)
• Once the data was cleaned we used Pareto Analysis to confirm the
areas which consumed the most energy.
• Unsurprisingly the furnace operation accounted for 59% of the
energy with the Hollows operation accounting for 35%.

Cumulative % Energy Use
Data Analysis - Pareto
• Pareto charts were used to rank the energy use of specific parts of each
operation and help focus energy saving efforts.
• The operation burners accounted for 92% of all energy use
Data Analysis - Correlations
• We used correlations to examine possible links and preconceived
ideas about energy use such as perceived links between ambient
temperature and operational efficiency. Is there value in running
more during the day?

also explored. One example was the link between Tower pressure

Projects
• The Pareto clearly showed that the most value could be obtained by reducing
gas use in the burners with a secondary focus on major motors and
compressors
• Projects identified for further investigations as a result of the program were as
follows:
• Waste heat boiler
• Furnace Heat Recovery
• Hollows Heat Recovery
• Push Fan Replacement
Complete
• Office Heating/Cooling
• Hollows Burner Replacement
• Boiler Burner Control Upgrade
• Suction Fan
Proposed for 2013
• Furnace Burner Design
