Process Energy Inventory at Kansas Army Ammunition Plant

Abstract

Detailed energy audits were performed on each of the processes involved in the production of 155 mm M483 ICM rounds at the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant. Energy consumption baselines were established for all of the individual operations associated with this round, and potential energy conservation opportunities were defined, which amount to $3,495 per year under the current one-shift-per-day operating level and $9,635 per year under a three-shift-per-day operationing level. Reviewed are the principal advantages and disadvantages of air logics and intrinsically safe logics when used for medium-sized control function.
