Krakatau Steel adopts Energy Management Service to create an efficient energy consumption system.
Honeywell has announced that PT. Krakatau Daya Listrik (KDL), a subsidiary of PT. Krakatau Steel Group (PTKS), has selected Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) to implement energy management and monitoring solutions that will help generate long-term cost savings through greater energy efficiency. KDL will implement the selected HPS solutions at PTKS Group’s facilities.
KDL is the primary supplier of electrical power for the government-owned PTKS Group, the largest steel maker in Indonesia. With a combined steel capacity of 2,45 million tons per year, it is Southeast Asia’s largest integrated steel producer.
PTKS consumes a significant amount of energy (including electrical power, natural gas and industrial gases) due to its large production capacity. Implementing HPS’ Energy Management Service allows KDL to monitor, manage and control its energy consumption effectively without affecting the levels of productivity at its facilities. Meticulous monitoring helps KDL achieve the best possible energy use, thus lowering its overall operational expenses.
“Providing energy for such large-scale production is not an easy task, as we often run into high costs. By implementing HPS’ proven solutions, we will be able to control and monitor energy usage, which ultimately helps us reduce those costs significantly in the long run,” says Wisnu Kuncoro, president director, KDL. “We chose Honeywell Process Solutions because of their previous experience in handling energy management projects and their in-depth knowledge of the steel manufacturing industry.”
“Often, energy expenses are considered a fixed cost due to their substantial share of operating expenditures,” says Tony Cosgrove, vice president sales Asia Pacific, HPS. “With our Energy Management Service, KDL will now be able to gain a competitive edge as they are able to control their energy supply chain better and achieve significant energy savings. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with the Krakatau Steel Group and working with them on even bigger projects in the future.”
