El Monte, California –The Gill Corporation (TGC) recently completed a project to reduce the organization’s carbon footprint and energy costs. TGC collaborated with SoCalGas, natural gas supplier and METRON, a French cleantech company specializing in improving energy efficiency, operating performance, and reducing energy costs and carbon footprint.
METRON has created an innovative software-as-a-service (SaaS) product and set of strategies. “We established METRON to tear down the data silos that existed within industrial facilities and bring data to multiple users,” said Pierre Groleau, General Manager North America at METRON. “Our goal was to provide a toolset that helps users understand and analyze data in real time and gain actionable insights at the machine or asset level.”
Work on the project began in 2021 with a detailed analysis of the site’s existing data sources and hardware followed by data aggregation for immediate observation. Upon completion of this analysis, METRON developed a digitization roadmap that identified the sensors and associated hardware necessary to close the data gaps. TGC’s maintenance team linked chart recorders to a central repository of data, tracking energy consumption, and installed sensors at key locations in the plant monitoring compressed air, gas usage and equipment status.
安裝傳感器後，METRON 部署了其軟件生態系統和專業服務，以顯著節省能源使用成本並減少排放。 TGC 估計每年可節省 6% 的公用事業費用，並每年減少近 1,000 噸二氧化碳排放。為了驗證這些數字，SoCalGas 讓第三方測量和驗證組織對其進行了檢查。該項目的成功是 METRON、TGC 和 SoCalGas 之間積極合作的直接結果。
“To achieve our company’s and California’s efforts to achieve net zero, we must use all the tools at our disposal, whether it’s through cleaner fuels, capturing carbon dioxide or, as in the METRON project, identifying opportunities to significantly improve efficiency. We’re thrilled at the cost savings and CO2 reductions achieved from this project and are eager to find more opportunities for SoCalGas partners to explore this technology,” said Neil Navin, Chief Clean Fuels Officer at SoCalGas.
“We are pleased to have been able to quantify these figures and reduce our organization’s carbon footprint and energy costs. It is only the beginning,” said Israel Palomino, Senior Mechanical Engineer at TGC.
