Investing in approved energy saving technologies in the UK has a triple benefit. The first is that plant and equipment operate more efficiently and so reduce energy costs. The second is the Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme administered by HMRC allows companies to write off 100% of the cost against that year’s taxable profits. Thirdly, by […]
Measures implemented by a Scottish galvanizing company to achieve the ISO 14001 environmental management standard have helped the company cutting its energy costs by several thousand pounds a year. Among the measures introduced by Elgin-based Highland Galvanizers was to replace an existing fixed-speed compressor with a ABB variable-speed drives. As well as […]
ABB argues that by retrofitting variable speed drives (VSDs) to centrifugal compressor applications, energy savings of over 30% in energy use can be realised in UK applications. Although applying VSDs to compressor applications is challenging than with pumps and fans, it can nevertheless be applied to both positive displacement and dynamic types. […]
