Detailed information about the use of energy on industrial sites is scarce. This paper describes for a particular site how such information can be obtained from existing records together with limited measurements and approximate mathematical models of processes. an energy balance for the site is constructed. Possibilities for reducing the energy consumption by the use of readily available technologies are considered and a new energy balance calculated under these circumstances. In some instances the proposals would require further effort to provide suitable components and controls. We have indicated where this effort would be needed.
