Industrial Plant Engineering refers to the energy supply and operation of industrial building sites. Energy and raw material resources are dwindling; environmental concerns are on the rise. As a result, Industrial and Plant Engineering (IPE) has become an increasingly important field of study, and IPE inspections are becoming a necessity.

The thrust of a Kleinfeldt Energy IPE Assessment lies in the site inspection, where a careful observation of current equipment and practices leads to an Energy IPE Assessment Report. This report details the 'energy rating' of the site, and offers recommendations to improve energy efficiency.

Industrial Engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems. Industrial Engineering deals with the design of new prototypes; for example, in the Lean Manufacturing Model, industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.

The second purpose of a Kleinfeldt IPE Assessment is the integration of alternative energy sources. Our team of industrial engineers, specialised in a wide array of secondary disciplines, draw upon the principles of mathematics, social sciences and more, in concert with the methodology of engineering analysis and synthesis to design, test and accurately predict the results that can be obtained at your industrial operation; from alternate-energy machines to alternate entire-plant energy supply sources.

At some point, probably not so far into the future, IPE Assessments will be mandatory. Environmental codes and bylaws are in legislation more and more often. Climate change concerns and sustainable fuel sources are hot items; they have been in the forefront of news reports for some time now. You can wait for the governmental mandate, or you can arrange your IPE Assessment today to start saving money via energy conservation techniques, or via alternate, green energy sources.
