Measure & Identify Opportunities

Limited visibility into energy use can make it difficult to uncover inefficiencies, reduce operating costs, and justify improvement projects. Learn how a comprehensive energy management approach delivered 5-15% energy reductions, more than £15 million in savings, and ongoing performance improvements through real-time monitoring and reporting. 

Improve boiler reliability, reduce fuel consumption, and lower emissions with advanced Steam Boiler Optimization powered by the DeltaV™ process control system. By minimizing boiler trips, optimizing combustion efficiency, and adapting to changing fuel quality, facilities can achieve measurable operational and environmental benefits, including one northern Alberta co-generation facility that avoided approximately $99,000 annually in production losses caused by load-related boiler trips.

SpartanPRO™ SAGD Steam Header Optimization helps producers maximize steam generation capacity and improve steam delivery by automating steam header pressure control and allocation across the network. Measured results include up to 3% increased production when steam constrained, up to 8% increased production when air fan speed limits output, and an approximate 500 kPa increase in steam header pressure capability, helping operators maintain stable operations with less manual intervention.

Spartan Controls' Industrial Energy Management System (EMS) continuously optimizes steam production, power generation, and fuel utilization by coordinating boilers, steam turbines, and steam headers through facility-specific models and real-time decision logic. By automating energy management decisions and providing real-time cost calculations, the system helps facilities reduce energy costs, improve operational efficiency, maintain stable performance during process upsets, and maximize the value of existing energy assets.

By modernizing combustion controls and burner technology, Spartan Controls helped this facility improve heater efficiency, enhance operational safety, and achieve more consistent combustion performance. The upgraded system reduced variability, supported regulatory compliance, and provided operators with greater confidence in day-to-day heater operation.

Energy costs can hide in plain sight. By combining real-time operational data with advanced analytics and visualization tools, organizations can identify where energy is being consumed, uncover inefficiencies, and prioritize the actions that deliver the greatest impact. With better visibility across assets, systems, and facilities, teams can reduce energy waste, improve performance, and support sustainability goals with confidence.
