The Energy Savings
Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
and Pump System Audits
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) Regulations
2014 came into force on 17 July 2014 and are a mandatory
energy assessment and energy saving identification scheme for
large undertakings (and their corporate groups). The scheme
applies throughout the UK. ESOS Energy Audits have the
potential to increase businesses profitability and competitiveness by identifying costeffective savings which, if implemented, will improve energy efficiency. The scheme is
estimated to lead to £1.6bn net benefits to the UK, with the majority of these being
directly felt by businesses as a result of energy savings.
SEALWISE WCB is a revolutionary, sustainable material that brings
innovative qualities including unrivalled peace of mind in the fight against
infection and contamination across a wide range of industries.
SEALWISE WCB is perfect for hardworking environments and is superior to
stainless steel, aluminium composites, laminates, MDF, wood, expensive
thermoset resins and cheaper low-quality products.

Manipulation Impossible
Valves play an important role when it comes to
the safety of process equipment: Unauthorized
access or accidental operation can quickly lead
to catastrophic results. However, both these
scenarios are easily prevented. AS-Schneider, the
specialist in the field of industrial valves, provides
a range of Anti-Tamper Valve Head Units to allow
plant operators to reliably protect their valves
against undesired operation.
The scheme’s regulations are published on the government’s legislation website
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1643/contents/made
The Standard Design of the Anti-Tamper Valve
Head Unit is equipped with a bore and matching
AT-Key. The valve can only be operated using this
special key. The operator can also lock the bore
using a padlock in order to prevent the insertion of the AT-Key. This makes
it impossible to operate the valve. It can be securely locked in any position
– closed, partially open or fully open.

ESOS webpage https://www.gov.uk/energy-savings-opportunity-scheme-esos

ESOS is the UK Government’s approach to transposition of Article 8(4) of the EU
Energy Efficiency Directive, which requires all large (non-SME) enterprises to
undertake energy audits by 5 December 2015 and every 4 years thereafter.
