SOLUTIONS SUITE

Energy Management

Simply put—consume less to pay less. GE’s Energy Management Solution provides a systemic way to reduce the energy demand from your manufacturing processes. The framework provides a blueprint for how you can efficiently conserve energy today and in the future. GE’s Energy Management Solution will:

• Highlight areas for energy optimization
• Provide insights into energy demand in real-time
• Identify efficiency upgrades that deliver the biggest impact

Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

Your manufacturing process requires heat and electricity. We’ll partner with you to determine the optimal Combined Heat & Power solution to fit your unique process needs, reducing utility costs and CO2 emissions in the process. GE’s Combined Heat and Power Solution will:

• Enable the production of heat and electricity via low cost natural and/or biogas
• Improve energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions associated with your plant(s)
• Lower your risk from volatile energy prices and unreliable electricity

Waste to Value

Food manufacturing often generates organic waste in the form or wastewater or landfill waste. GE’s Waste to Value solution could use this waste to make renewable energy and cleaner water thereby reducing your carbon footprint. GE’s Waste to Value Solution will:

• Obtain value from your various waste streams by reusing water and energy
• Reduce energy and water waste output from your manufacturing processes
• Lower your risk from volatile energy prices and unreliable electricity

SEGMENTS

Agribusiness

The process of converting agricultural commodities into high-value starches and sweeteners consumes significant energy and water. In addition, volatile energy prices, water scarcity and wastewater regulations pose a significant risk to profits. GE’s agribusiness commercial and engineering team will collaborate with you to develop innovative solutions to your utility challenges that will also improve your bottom line.

Brewing

Brewing companies are actively engaged in water conservation measures, energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction. With hundreds of facilities spread across multiple continents, achieving these goals is a challenge unique to the brewing industry. By working with your local and regional teams, our dedicated brewing industry experts will custom-engineer solutions that improve resource use and deliver consistent results.

Diversified Foods

Diversified food companies are facing increasing risks associated with rising commodity prices and volatile energy prices. Manufacturing processes that often span multiple global regions impacts the ability of diversified foods organizations to address these challenges. GE’s global diversified foods team will partner with you to optimize manufacturing processes, improving yield and lowering utility costs.
