Global environmental concerns and rising energy costs are contributing to a new paradigm in how companies approach their electricity costs from focusing purely on consumption to that of energy efficiency and maximal utilisation of existing resources. A study by ReEx Capital Asia into the energy saving potential of the South East Asian market identified Indonesia as having the second largest Energy Efficiency market of the region which as a whole is valued at $6.7 billion USD with an estimated $1.4 billion USD of unrealised annual savings. The ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems certification has raised the bar in terms of energy efficiency expectations from commercial companies, utility providers and government bodies; this is having a globally felt impact with Indonesia being no exception. Pura Mayungan has always anticipated international trends in the electricity industry and is therefore among the first Indonesian companies to gain the ISO 50001 certification to provide consultancy services to local companies in order to achieve it.
The Energy Efficiency Solution arm of Pura Mayungan was established in 2007 focused on providing customers with methods of improving the energy efficiency in their existing electrical installations to ultimately bring down utility costs as well as for lightning and surge protection. Through carrying out Energy Audits, Pura Mayungan’s experienced professionals identify how to improve efficiency, minimise downtime as well as the necessary investments required to reduce energy costs which also provide the shortest payback time. The Energy Audit covers every aspect of a plant’s operations, processes and products as well as electrical and thermal energy in addition to the study of generators and utility equipment such as fans, pumps and air conditioners. This audit enables companies to benchmark their energy usage and thus identify key areas to be addressed for greater energy efficiency in addition to how to comply with government regulations.
The Energy Efficiency Business unit stays ahead of the latest techniques and equipment available by working with leading international suppliers such as Circutor or Conzerv and draws on its own extensive experience in the sector to create tailored systems that suit the client’s specific industry and energy saving goals. The Circutor Energy Management Software uses its own PowerStudio Scada software and offers an online system architecture linking the electricity infrastructure to the corporation’s head office in order to track and monitor energy usage. This comprehensive system tracks usage by specific production process or department to provide in-depth and segmented data. Pura Mayungan’s consultancy services show clients how to use this data to improve their energy efficiency and energy management.
Conzerv’s Energy Management System offers real time data on an electrical system’s energy balance comparison as well as detection of transmission and distribution loss. It generates periodic reports to enable companies to allocate energy resources more effectively. The sophisticated eLAN system provides clients with predicative maintenance alerts, root cause analysis, energy resources planning, greater energy efficiency through process and genset optimations as well as online electronic billing.
In Indonesia, Pura Mayungan has served many of the country’s leading local and multinational companies in a broad range of industry sectors in achieving optimal energy efficiency results with a swift return on investment. The company works with clients on the long term to continually provide support, assistance and human resources training on the best energy efficient processes that ultimately benefit the environment as well as the company’s own bottom line.
