From September 2018 to August 2019, PITCO, in collaboration with DESL, conducted an energy audit and cleaner production assessment for US Denim Ltd. in Lahore, Pakistan. The project, funded by IFC, aimed to identify opportunities for investing in advanced technologies and adopting global best practices in operation processes and environmental performance. The assessment process used the PaCT Advantage tool to develop an effective and continuous management system for water, energy, and chemicals.
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 ETP and 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 cleaner production methodology, and detailed energy and water assessment reports were prepared. Proposed interventions included installing energy-efficient equipment, implementing energy management systems, and waste heat recovery improvements.
