Enhancing the energy efficiency of APOLON-95 EOOD for achieving sustainable growth

APOLON-95 EOOD was established in 1995 in the town of Gorna Oryahovitsa. The company is among the leading producers of men’s clothing in the country. As at 2016, in order to carry out its production process, it uses energy amounting to a total of 3 466 144 kWh/year. In order to reduce energy consumption for production, this project proposal, as part of Elements A and B, plans the implementation of the following energy saving measures (ESM): ESM 1: replacement of obsolete technological equipment for inter-operational ironing (23 nos. obsolete machines) with new higher-class ironing machines (23nos.) with higher energy efficiency. The implementation of this activity will result in energy savings of 1 587 489 kWh/year. ESM 2: replacement of the obsolete equipment for final ironing (23 nos. obsolete machines) with new higher-class ironing machines (23nos.) with higher energy efficiency. The implementation of this activity will result in energy savings of 1 765 020 kWh/year. ESM 3: replacement of 6 machines for jackets and pants preparation with 4 new highly efficient machines, which will result in energy savings of 197 512 kWh/year. ESM 4 (additional measure): building an automated system for monitoring and control of energy use that comprises over 97% of energy consumption by all energy users at the company, which will result in energy savings of 216 571 kWh/year. In addition, APOLON-95 is planning activities under Element B and the use of consulting services for the commissioning and certification of an energy management system as per standard BSS EN ISO 50001, project visualization and audit. Project outcomes: + reduced energy consumption, expanding capacity and reducing expenses. + planned energy savings for the entire company amounting to 3 766 592kWh/year. + more resource efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
