Abstract
In today�s business environment, as breweries optimize their processes to become more efficient and thereby more competitive, utilities become a vital focus area. Efficient utility management means reduction in the usage of water, carbon dioxide, steam, fuel, compressed air, and electricity. Monitoring and controlling utilities can reduce existing annual utility bills by 15�20%, resulting in considerable savings and a payback on capital investment in less than 1 year. This paper describes what is possible to achieve in this area in a 2 million-hL brewery.
Keywords: energy, energy savings, utility management

 

S�ntesis
En el entorno de los negocios hoy en d�a, con las cervecer�as optimizando sus procesos para ser m�s eficientes y competitivos, se hace m�s importante enfocarse en los servicios de planta. La gesti�n eficaz de los servicios implica una disminuci�n del consumo de agua, gas carb�nico, vapor, combustible, aire comprimido y electricidad. El monitoreo y control de los servicios puede reducir los costos correspondientes en 15�20%, con ahorros considerables que permiten un retorno de la inversi�n en menos de un a�o. Este art�culo describe lo que se puede alcanzar en este �rea en una cervecer�a de 2 millones de hL.
Palabras claves: energ�a, ahorros de energ�a, gesti�n de servicios
