Contract Energy Management (CEM)
Contracting
out non core activities to specialist service companies has never made
more sense. Throughout industry, companies have reaped the benefits of
employing specialists to provide expertise and make dramatic savings in
the energy consumption in plant and buildings. Building on over 100
years of boiler design experience and over 40 years of providing service
solutions worldwide, Cochran offers CEM packages to industrial users
that address all aspects of steam and hot water supply.
Cochran can supply reliable and cost effective steam, heat and power
linked to long term performance guarantees. This allows customers to
enjoy substantial cost reductions, lower operating risks and improved
quality of service, enabling them to improve focus on their core
activities. Using our specialist personnel we offer total energy and
utilities management by providing design, installation, finance,
operation and maintenance solutions.
Working in close partnership with our customers, we develop long-term
relationships that allow our clients to concentrate on their core
activities by ensuring that their energy and utility needs are met. We
take responsibility for cost, performance, availability, efficiency,
operating personnel, technical support, environmental compliance and
equipment warranty.

CEM Benefits
Cochran provides clients with the full services of an
experienced energy management team at a fraction of the cost of
recruiting their own. The key areas we cover are:
Cost
We employ our expertise to minimise costs with minimal
outlay to ensure the highest returns. These costs include manning,
reduced downtime, fixed maintenance costs and reduced fuel and
electrical consumption.
Performance
Performance of existing plant can be maximised through correct
configuration, maintenance and set-up. Cochran looks at all aspects of
combustion and ancillary plant items. Where the plant is not performing
to the correct levels, and upgrades to meet the target, Cochran can
recommend, design, manufacture and supply and install all the equipment
needed to meet demand.
Availability
Crucial in many manufacturing applications and
buildings such as hospitals is maximised by ensuring preventative
maintenance is correct and carried out to programme, and that in the
event of downtime, a quick response is given. Cochran provide UK wide
service cover, coordinated from a central Product Support Desk, with
Area Managers on hand to resolve issues quickly. In addition, we employ
our own rapid response repair squad to provide cover for more major
boiler and pressure vessel repairs.
Efficiency
With decades of plant operation experience, plus
design and manufacture of energy plant and combustion systems, Cochran
can address all areas of plant efficiency including combustion
efficiency, electrical consumption and the use of variable speed drives,
the use of economisers and other heat recovery systems, boiler
sequencing and BMS integration. Complete energy efficiency solutions can
be provided as part of longer term contracts, or as a one off project
as required.
Operating Personnel
Cochran can take responsibility for
operational staffing of plant, via direct employment and management of
the staff, or by providing complete support for customers existing
staff, allowing those staff to perform other duties, but with the total
support and training from Cochran.
Technical Support
With hundreds of clients on contract and the
backup of both experienced product support engineers UK wide and
engineering support at headquarters, Cochran is well equipped to handle
and resolve all nature of technical enquiries, whether they are related
to fundamental plant design, environmental compliance or simple day to
day operational issues.
Equipment Warranty

the life of the contract, giving peace of mind and minimising
operational risks for customers.
