Energy Conservation

a monthly report and check list for
energy conservation to the
corporate energy conservation
coordinator. In addition, each
committee is expected to compile a
list of energy conservation projects,
their costs and benefits, and to
submit the list to the coordinator.
All of the energy conservation
committee reports are then
compiled into a quarterly corporate
energy comparison report by deputy
energy conservation coordinator
John Thomas. This company-wide
report is sent to all mill managers
and to executive management for
review.
Since 1973, a number of engineer
ing modifications have been made at
various locations which have greatly
reduced the company’s energy
usage.
At the Laurel Hill Carpet Plant,
modifications in the duct work in the
latex curing oven have significantly
reduced heat exhausts into the
atmosphere with a resulting 25
percent reduction in natural gas
usage.
At the Blanket Finishing Mill, a
heat recovery unit is begin installed
on new equipment in the dyeing
process. The unit will collect heat
from waste water and use that heat
for new water needed in the dyeing
process. All steam will be condensed
and returned to the boilers which
will result in both heat and water
savings.
When the project is completed in
early 1978, it will take only six
pounds of water to dye one pound of
cloth. Formerly, it took 20 pounds of
water for each pound of cloth.
The project at the Blanket
Finishing Mill represents the final
step in the installation of heat
recovery units in dyeing areas. All
other major dyeing areas are
already equipped with them.
“Almost every manufacturing
area in the company has now been
equipped with whatever energy
saving equipment is economically
feasible,” Wilkerson said.
But engineering hiodifications,
energy conservation committees,
and substitution of alternate fuels
don’t tell the whole story of Field-
crest’s energy conservation efforts.
Long before the energy crisis, the
company’s Research Department
was involved in a number of projects
which, when fully developed, will
save substantial amounts of energy.
Current projects include the
development of new and better
chemicals which require less energy
in the manufacturing processes. An
example is the continuing search for
low temperature cure resins.
Energy conservation has become
an integral part of Fieldcrest’s
operations and will become even
more important in the future,
Wilkerson said.
“In every location, at every level
of our operations, by every
employee in one way or another,
energy conservation must become
as much a part of our jobs as safety
or productivity. It’s that
important,” he concluded.
