Improving Resource Efficiency at Pratt and Witney International

Prior to the involvement of Greenbusiness, the company had already been involved in the Cleaner Greener Production Programme and had implemented a number of actions to improve environmental performance, including comprehensive waste recycling, use of waste heat from the compressor to pre-heat domestic hot water and the installation of motion sensors on treatment bays to turn off lighting and air extraction equipment.

This Resource Efficiency Opportunity assessment outlines the potential benefits to Pratt and Witney International of using Greenbusiness to help manage resources more efficiently. The site visit reviewed many aspects of the operations and identified a range of potential improvement opportunities around energy efficiency. Implementing these opportunities, many with short payback periods, will help the company to achieve estimated annual cost savings of ~€57,000.
