Process Energy Inventory at Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, Load Line 3.

Abstract

A comprehensive process energy audit was conducted at the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, Load Line 3. The energy consumption baseline was determined for four production items: cartridges M106, M650E5, M17A1, and M337A1E1. This report includes a brief description of the production process for each item, corresponding process flow charts, and estimates of potential savings. The potential savings for production of all four items total $22,244 or 6680 M Btu of energy per year, a reduction over current consumption of 28%.
