Process Energy Inventory at Iowa Army Ammunition Plant Lines 1, 2, and 3A

Abstract

A process energy audit was conducted at Iowa Army Ammunition Plant. Lines 1, 2, and 3A were surveyed. Energy consumption baselines were established for eight production items: the Hawk, Stinger, Chaparral, Dragon, Copperhead and Improved TOW Warheads, the M549A1 RA Projectile, and the M718/M741 AT projectile. A number of potential energy conservation projects were defined to reduce present energy use.
