Industry 4.0, energy and process optimization

Challenges

We are looking for an alternative solution to steam heating for process pipelines that provides anti-freeze protection during the winter period. The proposed technology must be characterized by high heating system efficiency and reliability. Key features should include maintenance-free operation and the ability for self-regulation of the heating system.

We are looking for tools that enable the integration of photovoltaic panels with existing Building Management Systems (BMS) used in buildings. The proposed solutions must focus on managing photovoltaic infrastructure, particularly in optimizing the utilization of renewable energy sources (RES). The solutions should be specifically tailored to meet the needs and characteristics of industrial and administrative facilities.

We are seeking tools capable of precise flow measurements in areas that have not been previously equipped with appropriate measuring devices. We are particularly interested in solutions that can be applied without the need to interfere with existing industrial fittings. We expect that the proposed methods will be effective for both liquid and gaseous fluids as well it could be adapted to different levels of pressure and temperature of process steam.

Each production facility within the refinery operates hundreds of pipelines transporting petroleum products and energy media (e.g., process steam) used in crude oil processing.

We are looking for a solution that enables the digital representation of the pipeline network and provides analysis to identify bottlenecks related to hydraulics, flow velocity, energy losses, pump and compressor operating points, etc. The solution should support network optimization, ultimately reducing operational costs.

The solution must be highly flexible and feature a user-friendly interface to accommodate frequent model updates. Additionally, it should allow for the development of multiple operational scenarios based on varying input data.

We are interested in acquiring an automatic dewatering system for storage tanks holding refinery products, such as fuels and heating oils. Due to the tendency of water to accumulate, which being denser settles at the bottom of the tanks, we are seeking an innovative solution that will automatically detect and remove the accumulated water, while ensuring the efficiency and safety of the storage process.

We are seeking a digital twin that would allow us to monitor real-time operation including the optimization of performance, analysis of collected data to identify areas for improvements and optimization, risk minimization, and safety enhancement. Additionally, it should enable simulations and testing without the need to interfere with actual processes, reduce costs and downtime, and provide quick diagnostics of potential issues.

We are seeking a comprehensive solution comprising a dedicated user application and compatible physical devices. The challenge expects a proposal that includes a device for collecting real-time data on power consumption (kW) and energy usage (kWh) from a meter – with readings that must match as close as possible the data transmitted to the billing system – as well as a communication hub that enables connection, data transmission, and remote control of Smart Home devices (in the first phase, Home Energy Management System is required, in the development perspective, the possibility of integration with other IoT devices).

This solution aims to enable customers to effectively monitor and manage energy consumption at home while integrating various renewable energy sources within a modern HEMS ecosystem. In cases where a direct meter reading is not technically feasible, the solution may include a tallying device that provides measurements as close as possible to those of the meter. Obtaining data from the device should be possible while maintaining the minimum technical requirements imposed on the customer (an attempt to avoid elements such as: deep interference in the customer's electrical switchgear, dependence on the customer's home Internet network, the need for active service of the device by the customer, such as battery replacement), and the received data should be aggregated to the central administration platform available to ENERGA Obrót.
