    • Energy Efficiency

    Operating costs usually account for a major portion of a plant’s expenses — with the cost of energy generally having significant impact. So, reducing energy consumption can play a critical role in improving the bottom line. In addition, energy efficiency is assuming wider importance as many companies place greater emphasis on sustainability.
