Case Studies

CASE STUDY 1
LEAR Ltd manufactures car interior components and in there Colne Lancashire site which is a five story mill. Lear signed a Bill Validation Agreement and after our investigations into how they where being billed by United Utilities we found that they where being charged for five water meters and for surface water discharge, also an annex next door was being charged for water and sewerage on a ratable value bill plus on a water meter account.

Further investigations revealed that two of the water meters belonged to an adjacent company and two meters were in tandem causing them to be double charged for the mains water. The annex was being double charged for the same water via the ratable value bill and the water meter bill and the surface water discharged into the River Ribble. After negotiating with United Utilities we secured a refund for Lear of £225,000 with an ongoing saving of £50,000.

Under a separate agreement we sub-metered the site for Electric, Gas and Water and Lear found that the product they thought was making the most profit wasn’t as it was Energy intensive while the product they thought was breaking even was making the most profit as it used mainly water in its manufacture. This made them re-think their marketing of these products.

CASE STUDY 2
Crewe Alexander Football Club was being charged for water going to sewer when it was being used for watering the pitch through a sprinkler system. JTS Energy negotiated a 100% non return to sewer allowance resulting in a refund of £12,750 and an ongoing saving of £7,000 p.a

CASE STUDY 3
The Marshall Group signed a Bill Validation Agreement for six sites of these we found two of the sites had the wrong date and time installed on their intelligent electricity meters throwing out the tariff by 12 hours on one meter and 12 months on the other as the wrong date had been entered at its installation. Another of the sites had an electricity bill double of what it should have been and on installing a data logger onto the electricity meter we found that the meter was giving out the wrong pulse reading so that the units recorded doubled the bill.

These finding resulted in refunds being obtained from the electricity suppliers of up to six years with a total refund obtained as £468,000 and an ongoing saving of 78,000 per year. Non-return to sewer allowances where also negotiated with the water suppliers of 45% due to water going into product and through evaporation losses.

CASE STUDY 4
Carr’s Billington Agriculture Ltd manufacture animal feeds at four sites using water in the production process which is evaporated off through the drying process. Through negotiation with the water suppliers JTS Energy arranged an 85% non- return to sewer allowance of £16,713.per year. Also we have arranged a surface water harvesting program that will reduce the amount of water being used through the meter plus a surface water highway drainage allowance of 50%.

JTS Energy Ltd. are based in Merseyside and offer professional comercial manitenance solutionist finishes maintaining our reputation for high quality work at competitive prices.

Thermal Energy Surveys

CASE STUDY 1
On carrying out an energy survey for an engineering company in the isle of Man we found a motor overheating at 90oc and it was found that the gear box had not had the oil replaced after a service the previous day, we also found that in the office the air conditioning was fighting the heating system due to the positioning of the thermostat controls being put in the wrong place and calibrated wrong. It was also found that the power factor correction equipment was overheating and the cables from the transformer overheating due to the wrong connection plates being installed.

CASE STUDY 2
A cold storage company asked for a thermal survey to be carried out at there site in Hull, the ambient temperature in the cold storage areas was -25oc but in the corridors between the storage areas the temperature was maintained at -10 oc. Icicles were forming in the corridors and we found the cause for this. Was the heating from the High Bay lighting that was giving off 30 oc and outside temperature ingress from the fire doors due to the seals starting to fail. We also checked the building insulation and found areas of the roof with the insulation and solar reflecting paint starting to failing.

Another area of concern was the compressor house as the heat from the compressors at 80 oc was leaching into the cold store due to the corridor between the cold store and the compressor house not being insulated to the correct standard and the door to the corridor being poorly sealed.
