Executive Summary
The Millipore site is a modern, well maintained manufacturing plant. The site
management are committed to energy reduction as part of a structured approach to
ensure production costs on site remain in tight control and to comply with the site IPPC
license requirement relating to energy management. I have completed a half day site
visit and reviewed the current energy management systems on the site. The most
significant actions required by the Management team to achieve their targets relate to
the setting up of a formal Energy Management System on site. This will require a cross
functional team to be set up to implement a system based on the SEI Energy MAP.
Further details are available on www.sei.ie
A significant number of potential opportunities have been identified. It was not
possible to quantify all of these within the scope of a half day visit therefore, these will
need to be formally evaluated to determine the investment costs and the potential
savings and to ensure they are correctly prioritised. The Facilities Supervisor is well
disposed towards Energy Management and would be the ideal leader for an Energy
Management Team.
The site has recently developed a formal energy monitoring and reporting system. This
is an important step in the process of implementing an Energy Management System.
Electricity, CHP and boiler fuel meters should be read weekly and the energy
consumption related to production output through an Energy Performance Indicator.
This formal reporting system will start to raise questions among the operations
personnel about what drives energy consumption on the site.
The Energy Team should meet initially on a weekly basis and then as actions start to
happen, the frequency could be reduced to fortnightly and eventually to monthly when
the system is fully operational. It will be important to start an awareness initiative
among the staff to support the team in its work.
An opportunity may exist to join an SEI Energy MAP training programme in the near
future. Implementation of a formal energy management system based on the Energy
MAP is the first step to a long term sustainable change to structured energy
management which may ultimately lead to the IS 393 Energy Management Systems
implementation. I recommend that Millipore consider entering into an Energy
Agreement with SEI with a view to full implementation of IS 393 in 2009.
The main barriers to implementing a sustainable energy management system on site
revolve around lack of general awareness among staff and specific competence in
identification of energy saving opportunities. These barriers, allied to the high level of
activity of the site personnel due to increased capacity addition results in time to
implement these types of initiatives being at a premium. The establishment of a team to
work on this will spread the workload and increase the chances of success.

The current contract for energy supply should be reviewed with the supplier. It
appears that Millipore is suffering significant penalties due to the structure of this
contract. The site has recently renegotiated the price element of the contract for 2008
with significant savings accruing. However, the structure of the contract could still
result in energy savings being gained with no financial return to Millipore due to the
take/ pay aspects of the contract.
I recommend that the moulding operations be separately assessed and benchmarked in
accordance with the Low Energy Plastics Process European Best Practice Gide from
the euRECIPE website www.eurecipe.com . This guide and website provides on line
benchmarking of energy in plastics manufacturing to help Millipore determine if its
operations in this area are optimised from an energy perspective. A copy of this guide
will be sent to Millipore with this report.
I am confident that a ca. 3 % saving can be achieved relatively easily in line with
our experience on other sites. A further 3 to 5 % should be possible if a structured
Energy Management System is fully implemented.

Energy Management
2
Energy management is an all-encompassing process that should include every aspect of
an organisation from finance, human resources and public relations to maintenance,
purchasing and planning.
An Energy Management Diagnostic Questionnaire was completed for the site; the
completed questionnaire is included in Appendix A. The Diagnostic was completed
with the EHS manager and the Facilities Supervisor. Millipore scored 52% overall on
this diagnostic. Figure 1 shows the breakdown of the score between the five pillars of
energy management.
This score is quite high for an initial diagnostic result and reflects the work that has
been done over the years to reduce the impact of energy costs on the Millipore
operations and to comply with the EPA requirements as outlined in the site IPPC
license.

5 Pillars of Energy Managem ent
This graph shows that there is a lot of identification and planning underway. The
commitment pillar is a little lower than expected in view of the successes gained
already. Discussions on site show that this has recently changed with significant
management focus and commitment now being directed at Energy Management. This
will improve the score in this area when specific actions are formalised.

The principal barriers to developing, implementing and maintaining a full and effective
energy management system at the site are awareness among the general staff and
specific competence in identifying potential opportunities. These barriers are
specifically addressed in proposed actions on the Register of Opportunities.
There is additional information available on energy management from SEI’s Energy
MAP website at www.sei.ie/energymap.

Energy Consumption
Annual Consumption
3.1
The site is supplied with Energy from a 1 MW(electrical) Combined Heat and Power
System with top up as required from the electricity and gas grids. Based on
assessments of energy bills , the CHP plant operated at ca. 74 % efficiency in 2006 but
this dropped to ca. 49 % in 2007 as the unit was down for some time during the year.
The operation of this unit has a significant bearing on the site energy costs as it appears
that the site is penalised for drawing too much electricity and not enough heat in the
form of steam and hot water from the system. I recommend that the structure of the
CHP contract be reviewed to determine if it is providing good value to the site in
its current configuration.
The site energy consumption is rising due to additional capacity being brought on line.
However, the overall energy performance of the site in relation to the production
volume is improving with the addition of the new capacity. This is a very positive
scenario and one that should be closely monitored over the next 12 months to ensure
these gains are consolidated.
Millipore’s annual energy consumption is set out in Table 1 and summarised in Figures
2 and 3.
In 2006 ca. 55 % of the electricity consumed was generated on site by the CHP unit.
This percentage reduced to 38 % in 2007 for two reasons:

Increase in overall electricity requirement by ca. 19%

A reduction of ca. 18 % in the output available from the CHP plant.
The gas requirement in the same period increased by ca. 9% with a drop of 26 % in the
thermal output available from the CHP unit in line with the operational problems
experienced with that unit in 2007.
The costs of imported Electricity increased by 8.3 % in 2007 while the cost of CHP
electricity increased by ca. 28 % in the same period. The costs of imported gas reduced
by 5 % while the cost of the thermal output of the CHP unit increased by 39 % in the
same period. This is further evidence of the operational issues with the CHP unit
reflecting in increased costs to the site.

Main Energy Consumers
The main energy consumers at the site are summarised in Tables 2 & 3 below. It was
not possible to quantify the breakdown of energy use on a complex site such as this one
in the time allowed. I have therefore identified the significant energy users as a guide
for further analysis

Energy Performance Indicators (EPIs)
The site currently measures and EPI based on Volume / Energy requirement. I
recommend in addition to this EPI that the site develop some specific EPIs in the form
of Energy used per unit of production. These should be both thermal and electrical. I
also recommend that the injection moulding operations be separately monitored and a
separate EPI reported which would allow benchmarking against similar operations in
other Millipore Sites and in the EU plastics industry. A specific report entitled Low
Energy Plastics Processing- European Best Practice Guide is available from the
eu RECIPE website at www.eurecipe.com This guide contains specific
recommendations for improvement of energy efficiency in plastics manufacture. The
site also provides on line benchmarking at basic and advanced levels for plastic
manufacturing.

Opportunities for Energy Savings
Recent/Existing Energy Saving Initiatives
The site currently has a contract with an energy consultant to identify and develop
energy saving opportunities. This effort has resulted in a level of continuous
improvement over the years. However, the recent rapid increase in production capacity
will now provide some new challenges to optimise energy consumption as the new
plant is brought on line. The new facilities were designed with improved energy
consumption as part of the initial specification.
4.2
Suggested Opportunities for Energy Savings
We identified a number of opportunities for further energy savings at the site; these are
summarised in Table 4 overleaf. Any values quoted for energy savings are estimates
and would require further investigation to verify their accuracy.

Additional Information
The Millipore site is a well designed and well managed facility. The additional
capacity currently in construction will require some months to fully determine its
energy efficiency level. This is likely to be in 2009. I recommend that a more detailed
energy assessment be carried out at this time when all of the new facilities are in
operation.
The site personnel are accustomed to structured systems, making this site an ideal
candidate for an Energy Agreement and progression to full implementation of IS 393.
The best way to start on this initiative would be for key personnel to complete the SEI
Energy MAP training programme. This would provide a solid foundation for IS 393
implementation in 2009.
