Operational Cost Management
The primary goal is to reduce operational costs by reducing the amount of water, energy and raw materials entering the facility. The secondary objectives would be to reduce waste generation, and be responsible to the environment and community. In certain situations, it may be possible to reduce cost and increase revenue by selling process "wastes" to downstream users for a small revenue return while eliminating disposal fees.
There are three primary phases for this service:
Conduct facility walk-throughs and examine historical utility and materials payment records to categorize operational expenditures in energy, water and materials resources.
Examine data to identify opportunities for resource recyle, reuse or by-products exchange.
Perform detailed resource management opportunity analyses to determine capital investment, annual cost savings, tangible and intangible return on investment.
