Process Optimization
Brand-agnostic automation for the whole central plant. Unlock your facility's full efficiency potential.
Efficient central plant operation depends on how well your equipment and control systems work together. As cooling demands change, poor coordination between chillers, pumps, and other equipment can waste energy and drive up operating costs. Smardt's Process Optimization services help identify and address these inefficiencies through energy audits, system diagnostics and advanced controls. We examine how your plant operates, pinpoint areas where energy is being wasted and develop solutions that improve efficiency without compromising reliable operation. Our services include Kiltech's Central Plant Energy Conservation System (CPECS), which adjusts equipment operation in response to changing cooling demands.
OUR PROCESS OPTIMIZATION SERVICES
Energy Audits & Diagnostics
We examine how your plant uses energy, how individual equipment performs, and how operating conditions affect efficiency. This helps us identify sources of energy waste and determine which improvements offer the greatest potential.

Control System Design & Programming
We design and program control systems that help your equipment work together more efficiently. By coordinating equipment operation as cooling demands change, these controls help maintain required performance without unnecessary energy use.

Central Plant Optimization
Using advanced control technologies, including Kiltech's CPECS, we improve how chillers and supporting equipment operate as a complete system. This helps your plant meet cooling demand while reducing energy consumption across the system.

Equipment Performance Tuning
Even small changes in equipment settings can affect overall plant efficiency. We assess operating parameters and fine-tune equipment settings to improve performance under varying load conditions.

Turnkey Project Delivery
We coordinate the optimization process from energy assessments and solution design to controls programming, system integration, and implementation. This provides a coordinated approach to improving plant performance while meeting your facility's operating requirements.

Optimization Benefits
- Reduced energy consumption: Identify sources of energy waste and improve how equipment operates together to reduce unnecessary energy use.
- Lower operating costs: Reduce energy expenses by improving plant efficiency and adjusting equipment operation to match actual cooling demand.
- Improved reliability & uptime: Support reliable operation through better equipment coordination, system diagnostics, and more effective controls.
- Greater operational visibility: Gain clearer insight into energy consumption, equipment performance, and operating conditions through advanced monitoring and controls.
- Coordinated project delivery: Bring assessment, design, programming, and implementation together through a coordinated approach tailored to your plant's needs.
Optimize your process
Every central plant has its own operating demands and opportunities for improvement. Whether you're looking to reduce energy costs, improve reliability, or upgrade your control systems, Smardt can help you identify practical solutions that make better use of your existing equipment.
