Survival of Textile Sector Through Energy Management and Monitoring

Abstract

Intimidating resource limitations, increasing energy prices, and consumer requirements for environment friendly products are some of the issues faced by the industry in Pakistan. People have to set for the ambitious target of attaining Energy Efficiency by reducing energy losses thus reducing the productivity-energy efficiency scarcity of the industry. In Pakistan, the textile industry being an energy intensive segment is open to a higher energy loss rate across various processes resulting in elevated energy cost and losses in productivity which have significant financial impact and making us less competitive. Energy-efficient environmentally sound technologies utilization and implementing cleaner production techniques will help Textile Industry in Pakistan remain competitive worldwide. According to benchmark figures, 10–15% energy-saving potential is envisaged in spinning sector which can be substantiated by the results of energy audits.
