Look beyond initial capital cost
Assess operating requirements, maintenance access and lifecycle implications when comparing equipment and process options.
Identify opportunities early
- Review energy and water requirements during feasibility.
- Compare utility and process integration opportunities.
- Consider waste handling and environmental interfaces.
- Plan for equipment access, reliability and future expansion.
Measure against an agreed basis
Define a baseline and suitable indicators before committing to improvement targets. Any reported benefits should be supported by project-specific calculations or measured operating data.
