From October 2019 to September 2020, PITCO, in collaboration with Development Environergy Services Ltd. (DESL), conducted an energy audit and cleaner production assessment for Combined Fabrics Limited in Lahore, Pakistan. The project, funded by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), aimed to identify opportunities for investing in advanced technologies and adopting global best practices in the operation process and environmental performance. The in-depth CP assessment process aimed at identifying opportunities to invest in advanced technologies and adopt global best practices in the operation process and environmental performance.
The project involved assessing the current usage of water, energy, chemicals, and wastewater discharge in the factory. Our team identified saving opportunities for delivering water and energy more efficiently and less wastefully. PITCO developed various options and investment plans to reduce water, energy, and chemical consumption, and improve the effluent treatment plant (ETP) and water treatment plant (WTP) performance. Services included a pre-assessment questionnaire, energy consumption analysis, calculation of chemical use, and waste management practices. Workshops were organized to train factory personnel on the cleaner production methodology. Detailed energy and water assessment reports were prepared, and implementation support was provided. Proposed interventions included installing energy-efficient equipment, implementing energy management systems, and waste heat recovery improvements.
