Abstract
This paper presents some measures for energy efficiency improvement in a steam pipeline which was built 54 years ago, and has been transporting steam needed for kraft paper and packaging manufacturing process. During the late 80's the pipeline was repaired and very high efficiency has been achieved. At the moment, only one part of the manufacturing process is in use and steam pipeline insulation is in very bad state, due to the lack of maintenance. Energy efficiency of steam pipeline is approximately 35 %, hence energy and money loses are tremendous. This work shows that some technical measures could improve energy efficiency up to 94, 6 % in a profitable way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
