A client experienced a steady increase in fuel consumption per tonne of emulsion produced, impacting both operating costs and sustainability targets. StrangersEnergy conducted a comprehensive audit of the entire emulsion production process to identify inefficiencies and optimisation opportunities.

Solutions Implemented

• Optimised boiler utilisation by reducing operation from eight to six boilers per cycle, improving overall system efficiency
• Introduced a 50:50 fuel blending strategy, combining fresh diesel with recovered used oil to reduce reliance on fresh fuel
• Reduced heat losses by 20% through targeted repairs of leaks in boilers and water heating systems

Results Achieved

• Fresh diesel savings of approximately 45,000 litres per month
• Significant reduction in fuel costs
• Measurable decrease in carbon emissions, supporting the client’s sustainability goals
