83%less annual electrical energy01 · Starting point
The operating challenge
The autoclave and plant operated at different pressures. Insufficient storage caused pressure dips; oversized variable-speed equipment and extended unloaded running increased energy use.
02 · Implementation
What changed
Measured demand and simulation informed the new combination. The project enlarged storage, adapted the compressors and introduced coordinated control and online monitoring.
