THE ENBRIDGE 'STEAM SAVER' PROGRAM STEAM BOILER PLANT EFFICIENCY-UPDATE TO YEAR END, 2005 March 1, 2006

摘要

Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., with head office in Toronto, Ontario has approximately 350 Industrial and Institutional customers who own medium or large steam plants. This report is an up-date of the results of Enbridge's "Steam Saver" program first introduced in 1997. The goal of this program is to reduce fuel consumption in industrial steam plants and distribution systems. We have now completed 92 detailed boiler plant performance tests and audits. Furthermore, our energy partners Spirax-Sarco Ltd., and Preston- Phipps Inc. (Armstrong) have completed 216 steam trap surveys, testing and evaluating the condition of more than 41,000 steam traps. A description of the commercial and regulatory structure under which Enbridge operates and makes a profit, is also presented in this paper. This paper also includes a Steam Plant Benchmarking study which provides detailed data on costs and performance of 25 medium and large boiler plants.
