Providing over 20 years of industrial cooling system expertise

WHY WATER SYSTEMS?

Cooling water systems are one of the most overlooked, yet essential, portions of
the manufacturing process. Water systems are almost always:

▪ Engineered very conservatively, using designs and concepts 20, 30, or more years old
▪ Production-critical, but frequently operated within a broad performance envelope
▪ Not controlled to take advantage of seasonal conditions and load reductions

Consequently, systems typically run well below capacity and at significantly

lower efficiencies than are possible. Hallmarks of these conditions include
constant water flows pumped year-round, temperature control by cycling tower
fans and part loading of chillers, and resolving system performance issues by
blindly adding towers, pumping horsepower, etc. Operating in this manner
negatively impacts EBITDA while simultaneously increasing capital.

“It is our core belief that, done right, energy efficiency improvements give our industrial
clients improved process stability and utility supply reliability, lower ongoing maintenance
costs, and extended equipment lives with reduced capital replacement costs, all paid for
through energy savings.

We recognize the complexities of environmental responsibility and understand that

manufacturers must be profitable to invest in efficiency improvements. Our competitive cost
structure and distributed organization allow us to give superior value to our clients, while our
extensive network of resources enables us to meet each client's needs with experienced and
knowledgeable industry experts.”

ISG CORE CAPABILITIES
System Surveys and
Operational Analyses
ISG staff conduct on-site investigations using
their extensive knowledge and specialized
surveying equipment and procedures to
determine exactly how systems are
operating.
System Improvements
Data-driven recommendations for
equipment and operational improvements
are developed from the survey results; these
measures are refined with customer input
to yield capital-fundable projects.
Project Design and Support
Conceptual and detailed project design,
contractor bid scopes, equipment
specifications, and implementation technical
support are among the ISG project
completion services.
System Controls and Start-up
Commissioning
In selected cases, ISG designs and builds
system controls that incorporate our
expertise in the active system operation.
Additional metering installation and
calibration, variable speed drive supply and
advanced programming, and other “gap”
services such as chiller interface design,
equipment redeployment engineering, etc.
are routinely performed.
Rebate Application Assistance
ISG survey data is sufficiently robust to
meet most utility baseline data
requirements, and ISG can prepare savings
calculations, other project documentation,
and M&V data for rebates.
