Sustaining compressed air DSM project savings using an air leakage management system
(North-West University, 2010)
Unreliable and unsustainable electricity supply has been experienced in South Africa since
2007. Eskom implemented Demand Side Management (DSM) as a short-term solution to
alleviate this problem. Several compressed-air ...
Sustained energy performance on compressed air systems for expanding gold mines
(2013)
The energy provider in South Africa, Eskom, faces an increasing electricity demand. The need to ensure sufficient supply gave rise to Demand Side Management (DSM) projects scheme. The DSM focus has shifted to the mining ...
Sustainability of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme in South Africa
(2014)
The sustainability of the REIPPP programme was as yet unknown. Through this study control drivers critical for the sustainability of the REIPPP programme were identified and prioritised. As background sustainability was ...
A DSM approach for water usage and electricity costs on water distribution networks
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
Throughout the world – and particularly in South Africa – there is a need to use water more
efficiently. Water demand increases, water pollution and climate change are placing our limited water
resources under tremendous ...
Practical implementation of reliability centered maintenance principles and practices : a hot strip mill as case study
(2015)
Reliability-Cenetred Maintenance (RCM) is a well-known maintenance process developed in the aviation industry. It has yielded great success and hence was the process adapted to be used in the more industrial environments, ...
Framework for effective additive manufacturing education at South African Universities
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)
Additive Manufacturing (AM) which is also known as 3D printing technology; is a process by which digital 3-dimensional data is used to build up components or parts layer upon layer by depositing material. Additive manufacturing ...
A condition based maintenance approach for a rotary drum crop shear
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)
An alternative solution was proposed to the current replacement strategy employed to maintain the rotary drum crop shear at ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) Vanderbijlpark Hot Strip Mill (HSM). Process and production ...
Energy management for improved profitability of small manufacturing enterprises
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)
Approximately 75% of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) created in South Africa (SA) fail in the first year. This is a serious socio-economic problem as SMMEs in South Africa employ over 60% of the workforce and ...
Optimising deep-level mine refrigeration control for sustainable cost savings
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
Declined productivity and increased operational costs have seen South African deep-level gold mines become marginal operations during the past few years. The price of electricity is one of the major contributors to an ...
