Industry
Food and Beverages
This industrial segment presents great opportunities for saving electrical and thermal energy, considering various food and derived product production chains. With the solutions proposed by production stages, significant results are achieved in terms of reducing energy consumption and financial gains.
Cimento
Many cement production plants are efficient, but still have energy conservation potential of around 20 to 22% for the end uses of thermal and electrical energy. Our solutions will lead to a very important financial result in these plants.
Glass
In the various stages of production (packaging, special glass, domestic glass, flat glass) there are opportunities for energy savings with a total potential of around 60%, therefore with significant financial advantages if appropriate solutions are applied. We have these solutions for the energy efficiency of these plants!
Ceramic
Red ceramic and coating plants offer conditions for reducing energy consumption by an average of 12%. Measures that can be taken in direct heating end uses allow for an improvement in the efficiency of the overall process.
Mineral Extraction
Process inefficiencies can be corrected through our step-by-step solutions directly at the end-use stage. In both extraction and processing, you can count on our energy conservation models and save money.

Power Factor (Cos 𝜑)
𝐅.𝐏.= 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝛗= 𝐏 / 𝐒
P = kW
S = kVA
Q = kVAr
Represented by Cos 𝜑, the power factor (PF) is calculated by the ratio between the active power (P) and the apparent power (S), where P is measured in kW and S in kVA. This helps to determine the efficiency of the electrical system, also considering the reactive power (Q), measured in kVAr.

The Power Factor in Electrical Installation
It is an index that measures the efficiency of an electrical installation or equipment in terms of reactive energy consumption, allowing the assessment of the adequacy of the consumer's electricity costs.

Penalty for Excess Reactive Energy or Low Power Factor
In many cases, electricity companies apply fines when there is excess reactive energy or a low power factor, encouraging energy efficiency and correct energy use in electrical installations.

Power Factor Correction
Power factor correction involves measures to adjust the balance between active and reactive energy in an electrical installation, aiming to improve efficiency and avoid fines for low power factor.
Benefits of Power Factor Correction
Correcting the power factor to a minimum of 0.92 avoids fines and provides monthly savings on the energy bill. In addition, it improves the efficiency of electrical installations and equipment, enabling migration to more advantageous rates. The investment is highly profitable, with the useful life of the capacitors exceeding the financial return and freeing up resources for business expansion.
