Tamijuddin Textile Mills Reduce Waste and Increase Energy Efficiency - Case Study

Across all industries, energy-saving issues are taking center stage as there is a focus on reducing energy consumption to mitigate the impact the industrial sector has on energy consumption and subsequent emission of harmful greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide (CO2).

Combined heat and power (CHP) system offers a way to reduce energy waste in the industry helping reduce costs and overall fuel consumption. Across the entire textile industry, energy is consumed in a variety of ways at all stages of the production process. Steam is used in each of the various stages, particularly in the areas of dyeing, printing, and finishing (wet processes).

With the intent of optimizing the CHP system – having fewer losses in the process of transmission and distribution of electricity and heat, Tamijuddin Textile Mills Limited decided to evaluate natural gas-based cogeneration plant using reciprocating gas engine technology for their manufacturing unit at Gazipur, Bangladesh.
