QuvasoyCement JSC, part of United Cement Group, has replaced compressors at its production facility to save up to US$25,109 annually on electricity costs.
The facility in the city of Quvasoy, in the Fergana region of eastern Uzbekistan, installed new DENAIR DV 315 compressors manufactured by DENAIR, a Chinese-German company and one of the market leaders in compressors. These new compressors are state-of-the-art and reliable solutions that feature low vibration and noise levels and lower oil content in the output airflow for better environmental compliance.
Today, compressors have become common in almost all industries. Compressors are mainly used for the production of compressed air, which will then be utilised as a driving force or supplied to other manufacturing processes. Modern rotary-screw compressors are not only simple and robust but also energy-efficient.
This new equipment has already shown its effectiveness by cutting the electricity costs by $10,462 over the past five months. Electricity is saved thanks to higher performance (95 %), adjustable engine speed, and the ability to generate compressed air according to the actual consumption.
United Cement Group (UCG) is the largest cement holding company in Central Asia, with a total production capacity of 7.6 million tons. It specialises in the production of the highest quality general purpose and specialty cement grades.
