Client:
Smilax Laboratories, situated in the industrial area of Jeedimetla in Hyderabad, is a pharmaceutical company renowned for its high-quality healthcare products. The company is dedicated to sustainable practices and cost-effective manufacturing. With an annual energy savings of Rs 75 lakhs, Smilax identified a chance to lower operational costs and lessen its environmental impact by improving energy efficiency. To achieve this, Smilax collaborated with Zenith Energy to implement strategic energy conservation measures, which align with its objective of enhancing operational efficiency and reducing its carbon footprint.
About project:
Zenith Energy initiated an Energy Services Company (ESCO) project at Smilax Laboratories to enhance the energy efficiency of the facility through targeted system upgrades. The objective was to lower energy consumption and costs significantly while aligning with Smilax’s dedication to sustainability.
Challenges
High energy consumption: Smilax’s operations consumed a significant amount of energy, leading to elevated energy expenses.
Outdated Equipment: The facility used an inefficient chiller and traditional lighting, both of which increased energy consumption and led to frequent maintenance issues.
Environmental Impact: As part of its sustainability objectives, Smilax Laboratories sought to minimize its carbon footprint, necessitating a solution that would decrease both energy use and emissions.
Services provided
Zenith Energy introduced a focused array of energy efficiency solutions designed specifically for Smilax’s operational requirements:
Energy-Efficient Chiller Installation: The old chiller was replaced with a modern, energy-efficient water-cooled chiller, delivering the required cooling capacity while significantly lowering energy consumption.
LED Lighting and Controls Upgrade: LED lighting was installed throughout the facility, along with lighting controls to enhance power usage based on occupancy and the availability of natural light. This upgrade not only decreased lighting energy consumption but also improved lighting quality and reduced maintenance needs.
Result and Impact:
Energy Savings: The facility achieved annual energy savings of 10 lakh units, significantly lowering overall energy consumption.
Financial Savings: Realized a cost reduction of INR 75 lakhs per year, creating immediate financial benefits.
Environmental Impact: Carbon Emission Reduction: Reduced emissions by 900 metric tons annually. Equivalent Trees Planted: The project’s environmental impact equates to planting approximately 41,400 trees, reflecting Smilax Laboratories’ contribution to environmental stewardship.
