Palet Global, the owner of the largest pallet logistics network in our country, also operates the largest Pallet Production and Repair Factory in Turkey and the surrounding region. They monitor the energy consumption of 2 production lines and the most energy-consuming Compressor Machines in production using the Lumian Energy Management System.

While monitoring the energy consumption and air production efficiency of the Lumian Compressor machine in real-time, at the point where inefficient operation was detected, the Lumian Energy team, after conducting on-site technical feasibility, presented recommendations to the Palet Global management to reduce total energy consumption by 20%.

The Lumian Energy team identified that the two fixed-speed drive compressors were the most energy-consuming points of the Palet Global production facility. They recommended replacing the existing compressors with high-efficiency class, new-generation variable-speed drive compressors. The payback period for the investment was calculated to be 2 years.

Aiming to maximize the overall efficiency of the facility, which is the biggest energy consumption source, a series of recommendations were made to improve the efficiency of compressed air processes. The summary list of recommendations is as follows:

1. Air Piping: The existing plastic air piping causes high pressure loss due to its high wall thickness/low inner diameter. It was recommended to renew the entire system with a new-generation aluminum piping, which has low friction loss, zero air loss, and the advantage of easy assembly/revision with its modularity. In the new piping design, a ring line should also be planned for the entire operation.

2. Condensate Drain Device: In case the existing system continues, it was recommended to discharge the water/condensate from the tanks through air loss-free automatic drain devices.

3. Fittings: To reduce leaks in pneumatic lines, it was recommended to prefer fittings made of brass, which are more resistant to environmental conditions and provide less leakage compared to plastic fittings.

4. Solar Panel Dust Collection System: To increase the production efficiency of the solar energy power plants on the facility's roof, a revision of the dust collection system was recommended to reduce dust inside the facility, extending the cleaning intervals of solar panels and thus increasing production efficiency.
