with a grand total of 21 million kWh saved. We strive to be at the forefront of energy efficiency and sustainability technology so that we can offer solutions to our partners and save millions of dollars in energy costs, thus lowering the carbon footprint of local companies.

The current season for IAC activities is ending, but we will be back in action in September. ​
Thank you to all of our partners, engineers, and faculty for making this year at the LSU-IAC a historic success! Our team has saved partners 2.4 million dollars in energy costs,

The chemical additives used have a high boiling point. This allows the facility to utilize steam to concentrate their wastewater to reduce disposal volume. We recommended adding an evaporation unit for wastewater treatment to use on the separated waste streams.

Louisiana is known for a strong industrial sector of chemical companies. These companies use millions of gallons of water a day. So what happens to that water?
One facility we visited is a net steam exporter with excess production of steam in their process.

At a previous site, the team saw a company using large reusable bulk containers. These containers are collapsible and easy to transport from sites. Our team recommends the facility invest in these reusable containers to implement more sustainable practices in shipping logistics.

Happy Monday, Everyone! One of our partners this year provides constant shipping through a network of port companies. With the constant shipping, an abundance of cardboard was used. The team saw an opportunity to reduce the overall cardboard use with more sustainable practice.

for workers. There is no existing ventilation system aside from the opening doors. The workers must take three breaks a day to cool off. We recommended installing a fabric air dispersion system28 and an industrial blower to distribute quality air around the plant.

Continuous high temperatures are not only dangerous for the environment but for people as well. We recently developed a new AR code to ensure that workers at this facility were not at risk for heat exhaustion. The indoor temperature in plant 3 gets very high and uncomfortable..

laser sensors to monitor production lines for jams and bottlenecks. Installation of the laser sensor would provide programable identification for potential bottlenecking. The optical triangulation decreases production downtime and provides early detection of potential problems

As the LSU IAC expands service to new businesses, we are kept on our toes to develop new AR codes that meet the needs of our partners.
During an assessment tour, the LSU-IAC team observed challenges with jams in the production line. We saw the opportunity to recommend

LSU-IAC team recommended demolishing the Warehouse 1 buildings and moving anything of value to any of the adjacent warehouses with a maximum capacity. This recommendation will result in the elimination of the annual taxes and insurance for the building

Did you know that if your company has an area of improvement that is not currently covered by our AR codes, we can make a new one!
One of our newer codes comes from a facility that needed some more parking and an overall reduction in costs.
