Esta dissertação apresenta uma análise aprofundada dos processos produtivos na indústria da
cortiça, com especial enfoque na eficiência energética e sustentabilidade. A investigação tem
como objetivo identificar e implementar melhorias que otimizem o desempenho operacional e
reduzam os custos energéticos. As principais medidas propostas incluem a substituição de
motores ineficientes, a melhoria da manutenção preventiva e a instalação de sensores de
temperatura nos permutadores de calor.
Uma componente importante do estudo envolveu a criação de um documento detalhado de
análise de rotas, que identificou caminhos específicos da produção de cortiça que consomem
mais energia. Ao analisar estas rotas, foi possível identificar as ineficiências e desenvolver
estratégias direcionadas para a melhoria. Esta abordagem não só aumenta a eficiência
energética, como também promove uma cultura de melhoria contínua e sustentabilidade na
organização.
Uma das medidas significativas inclui a substituição de motores desatualizados por modelos
mais eficientes (IE3 ou superior). Prevê-se que esta iniciativa poupe aproximadamente 63,2
MWh por ano, o que equivale a cerca de 10 000 euros em custos de energia. A análise também
salientou a necessidade de um programa de manutenção preventiva abrangente, centrado em
componentes críticos e na aplicação de materiais de isolamento térmico, com o objetivo de
reduzir as perdas de calor, diminuir o desgaste das máquinas e prolongar a vida útil dos
equipamentos.
O estudo sugere ainda a instalação de sensores de temperatura nos permutadores de calor,
uma medida apoiada por sólidos fundamentos técnicos. Espera-se que esta medida preventiva
e de otimização energética melhore a precisão das medições e aumente a eficiência dos
permutadores de calor.
Globalmente, prevê-se que a implementação destas medidas resulte em poupanças
substanciais de energia e numa melhoria da eficiência operacional, reduzindo a pegada
ambiental da unidade industrial. As ações recomendadas neste estudo visam não só o aumento
da eficiência energética, mas também a promoção de uma cultura de sustentabilidade e
inovação na organização. Com a adoção destas estratégias, a empresa poderá atingir níveis mais
elevados de desempenho, competitividade e responsabilidade ambiental, estabelecendo-se
como um modelo de eficiência e sustentabilidade na indústria da cortiça.
This dissertation provides an in-depth analysis of production processes in the cork industry, with a special focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. The investigation aims to identify and implement improvements that optimize operational performance and reduce energy costs. Key measures proposed include the replacement of inefficient motors, improvement of preventive maintenance, and installation of temperature sensors in heat exchangers. A major component of the study involved the creation of a detailed route analysis document, which identified specific paths of cork production that consume the most energy. By analyzing these routes, it was possible to pinpoint inefficiencies and develop targeted strategies for improvement. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also promotes a culture of continuous improvement and sustainability within the organization. One of the significant measures includes the replacement of outdated motors with more efficient models (IE3 or higher). This initiative is projected to save approximately 632 MWh annually, equivalent to around €10,000 in energy costs. The analysis also highlighted the need for a comprehensive preventive maintenance program focusing on critical components and the application of thermal insulation materials, which aims to reduce heat losses, decrease machine wear, and prolong equipment lifespan. The study further suggests the installation of temperature sensors in heat exchangers, a measure supported by solid technical foundations. This preventive and energy optimization step is expected to improve measurement accuracy and increase the efficiency of heat exchangers. Overall, the implementation of these measures is anticipated to result in substantial energy savings and improved operational efficiency, reducing the environmental footprint of the industrial unit. The actions recommended in this study are not only aimed at enhancing energy efficiency but also at fostering a culture of sustainability and innovation within the organization. By adopting these strategies, the company can achieve higher levels of performance, competitiveness, and environmental responsibility, establishing itself as a model of efficiency and sustainability in the cork industry.
