- Description: Abstract : Energy is the essential component of all industries. However, its misuse by untrained staffs, owners of factories and companies increases the rate of consumption which consequently leads to waste of energy. This study aims to find the possible ways to rationalize energy consumption by introducing methods to provide and reduce consumption to maintain non-renewable energy for longer time as much as possible. This study was conducted on a confectionery factory that relies mainly on electrical energy and other sources of energy such as gas and diesel in the operation of furnaces to obtain high quality products while taking into account the reduction of energy consumption. Energy management is the first and most important strategic area to reduce the costs by controlling thermal and electrical energy consumption. First, the facility was analyzed to check the consumption of energy, and then the electrical and mechanical devices were inspected and suggestions were made to save the energy based on this study. The result showed a total energy saving up potential of 30,000 (kWh/year) by improving the electrical systems of the factory.

- Description: Abstract : In this study, the process of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Marvdasht City, Iran, was reviewed to determine the efficiency of the two aerated lagoons each with 9 aerators. Major emphasize in this paper is on trying to address the parameters and treatment process in combination and eventually suggesting a more sustainable energy consumption in the STP. The focus of this study was to calculate the required oxygen with respect to BOD5, loading rate and other parameters. This allowed the determination of the aerator pump power ratings required to supply the oxygen was high and were found that by almost half of the present power consumption, the required oxygen level could still be achieved. To eliminate the adverse impact high energy consumption, the current and future decision-making in wastewater treatment should consider sustainability.

- Description: Abstract : Due to the importance of energy and the tendency to find a renewable source of energy, the energy field has been linked to all studies areas to find the optimal methods for the energy production. The concern about environmental pollution and the needs of human for the clean energy supply have attracted researchers’ attention to search about new technology to utilize the solids waste from the electronic and automobiles industries in such a way to produce energy which can be advantageous in two ways; this can manage the solid waste and produce source of energy. In this study, Mg scraps have been used for the hydrogen generation via hydrolysis. The total energy cost has been calculated to predict the performance of the process depending on the cost of chemicals that have been used to generate H2 gas. Hydrolysis process was conducted with different concentrations of HCl to study the effect on the hydrogen gas generation using Mg scraps. This work optimizes the process of using Mg scraps to produce H2. The results showed a significant increase in the hydrogen gas generation with the same total cost after increasing the Mg scrap weight from 3.4g to 15g with 50ml amount of HCl.

- Description: Abstract : -A lot of successful research work on synthesis and application of photocatalysts have been done and going on, however the commercialization remains as a challenge. The cost associated with the raw materials and synthesis methods are of important and limiting factors in industries. In this study a cost analysis was conducted for an actual experimental work for synthesis and application of pure TiO2 and vanadium doped-TiO2. The cost estimation for Pure TiO2 and Vanadium- TiO2 has been conducted based on the cost of the raw material and energy consumption in synthesis. Finally, to find the real cost the recyclability of the photocatalyst has been taken into consideration.
