USDOE Industrial
Assessment Center
University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is one of the
newly-designated U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) Office of Industrial
Energy Technologies Industrial Assessment Centers (IAC). Along with 26
other universities across the United States, UIC now offers no cost industrial
assessments. These assessments are performed by students from various
engineering disciplines. Energy conservation, waste minimization and process
improvement recommendations have resulted in an average annual savings
of nearly $59,000 per plant assessment.
Each assessment includes:
• Measurement of combustion efficiency for all fuel burning equipment
• Measurement of electric motor operating parameters
• Evaluation of compressed air and steam systems
• Inventory of all ancillary energy users within the plant
• Development of a process flow map
