Abstract

Electricity has an essential thing for food industry just like food, clothes, air and shelter for us in all walks of our life. As operations performed in food processing plants especially in onion processing line are quite energy intensive, the check on energy usage is in priority concern. In onion processing line, electricity was the main energy utilized for operation of machineries, such as prime movers, dehumidification system, chilled water system and compressed air system while the thermal energy was used for drying of onion. For any industry, a perfect energy audit being first step to identify and suggest the area of energy wastages and set realistic goals for achievable savings.
