Reduced Emissions & Costs:

A NetZero Success Story in Biopharmaceutical Innovation

In the ever-evolving landscape of biopharmaceuticals, innovation isn't just confined to life-saving treatments; it extends to the very processes that make these breakthroughs possible. In this blog post, we will share the story of one of our top customers where NetZero Energiez (NZE) played a pivotal role in transforming a specialty plasma-derived biopharmaceutical company's energy landscape, resulting in not only cost savings but also environmental benefits.

The Challenge

Our esteemed customer, a leading specialty plasma-derived biopharmaceutical company, is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation, development, and commercialization to save lives and enhance the quality of life for people. In their mission, steam plays a crucial role, utilized for heating, cleaning, and pure steam generation. The challenge lay in the fact that the steam was produced using an 850 Kg/hr vertical boiler running on High-Speed Diesel (HSD), a conventional fuel source that came with its own set of economic and environmental implications.

The NetZero Solution

Armed with a vision to convert liquid fuel to clean, sustainable fuel, NetZero Energiez tackled this challenge head-on. Our end-to-end engineering solution involved the conversion of the existing HSD-fired burner to an LPG-fired burner, a transition that brought about transformative changes. The NetZero team recommended an LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) System equipped with a two vaporizers and PRS (Pressure Reducing System) having 100 % redundancy to ensure continuity of supply and ease of maintenance in a round the clock working environment and meticulously replaced the HSD -fired burner with an LPG-fired burner complemented by a secondary gas train.

The NetZero Difference

Financial Savings and Beyond

One of the most compelling advantages of LPG is its cost-effectiveness. Businesses can realize substantial savings, ranging from 35-40% on fuel consumption, making it a financially sound choice. These savings contribute directly to the bottom line, allowing companies to allocate resources strategically for growth and sustainability initiatives.

By embracing this holistic energy solution, NetZero delivered substantial financial savings of over 41% on prevailing product rates to the customer. The savings weren't limited to fuel costs alone; they extended to ancillary expenses, showcasing the comprehensive impact of our tailored approach.

Ancillary Cost Savings

• Oven Maintenance: LPG-powered systems generally require less maintenance compared to diesel counterparts. The cleaner burning nature of LPG translates to fewer deposits and reduced wear and tear on equipment, leading to lower maintenance costs and increased operational reliability. The shift to LPG resulted in lower carbon deposits inside the oven for our customer, reducing the frequency and costs associated with maintenance.
• Zero Pilferage of Product: LPG's sealed container storage mitigated the risk of pilferage, ensuring every ounce of product was utilized as intended.
• Lower Emissions: Opting for cleaner gaseous fuel didn't just translate to financial savings; it significantly lowered emissions, aligning the company with stringent environmental standards and contributing to a greener future.

Additional benefits of switching to LPG

Switching from diesel to LPG comes with a plethora of benefits that extend beyond conventional fuel alternatives. Here's a detailed exploration of the additional advantages our LPG-based solutions provide:

1. Higher Energy Efficiency: LPG offers superior energy efficiency, translating to a more effective combustion process and optimized energy utilization. This not only maximizes performance but also enhances the overall efficiency of your operations.
2. Efficient Heating & Cleaner Burning: LPG is renowned for its efficient and consistent heating capabilities. The cleaner burning characteristics of LPG result in fewer impurities, reducing the likelihood of equipment fouling and enhancing combustion efficiency. This ensures a more stable and reliable heating process, promoting optimal performance.
3. Zero Sulphur - No Scaling: LPG is virtually sulfur-free, eliminating the risk of sulfur-related issues such as scaling. The absence of sulfur in LPG leads to cleaner combustion, preventing the formation of deposits and scaling in equipment. This not only prolongs the lifespan of machinery but also maintains a cleaner and more efficient combustion process.

The Bottom Line

NetZero Energiez isn't just about converting fuel sources; it's about transforming energy landscapes to make them more sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. This success story is a testament to our commitment to delivering bespoke solutions that not only meet but exceed our customers' expectations.

In the world of biopharmaceuticals, where every innovation counts, NetZero Energiez stands as a catalyst for positive change, ensuring that the processes driving these advancements are as sustainable as the treatments themselves. Join us in embracing a future where energy efficiency and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
