The ways in which improved energy efficiency can be achieved within industrial processes:

• Minimizing wastes and losses,
• Optimizing process operation,
• Achieving better heat recovery,
• Determining process changes,
• Optimizing energy supply system.

Once when industrial process unit is identified as a potential for energy efficiency improvement, there are required steps that need to be implemented in order to maximize effects of improvement. These project steps can be changed and modified in accordance with the needs of individual chemical processes, their improvement potential, and overall experience of the engineering team.
