Optimize Your Facility's Energy Usage Now
Cross Company’s Process Solutions group offers a wide range of process plant performance solutions to help your operation meet energy goals. We can help with long-term reduction in utilities or short-term boiler/chiller control efficiency optimization. If you’re using a significant amount of energy on any part of your process (or on your process as a whole), there is room for optimization. And Cross can provide that.
With our expertise and industry-specific experience, our experts can help your operation meet its energy goals. We can upgrade or replace legacy equipment, analyze your process for inefficiencies, or provide data analyzers to ensure you know your precise energy usage. Then we can work directly with you on a plan of action to meet your process plant energy management goals.

The Energy Conservation Program Process
Study – The program begins with a facilities study identifying potential savings opportunities; this includes utilities and raw material inputs to process as well as production and storage of product.
Assessment – An assessment is then created with calculations of savings and payback periods of potential savings opportunities.
Implementation – Formulation of an implementation strategy of savings opportunities in order to realize the savings potentials. Initial implementations focused upon are generally projects that have simple pay backs of less than two years.
Review – A review project’s outcome is performed to benchmark the new process. Resource savings projects that produce the best return generally have a simple payback of fewer than two years. Often implementations are far less, paying back in several months or less. Our qualified team has extensive experience in controls and energy management applications, which provides your company a reliable partner to facilitate savings.
Assistance – We can help you implement any facet of conservation including but not limited to:
- Reduction in water usage
- Leaky Instrument air and compressor inefficiency
- Gas conservation via boiler control and heat exchanger efficiency
- Electricity conservation with lighting, motors using various smart automation technology.
- Steam conservation via steam traps and proper control
Resource Management – In addition, we can help provide a means to capture and trend the data to determine areas for improvement. Ability to monitor resource usage is a vital part of saving resources in a production environment. For example, tracking utility usage versus demand costs can help to avoid costly demand charges by changing production schedules.
How We Get It Right Every Time
Successfully executing a complex project like process control system upgrades, legacy control system migration, greenfield integration, or control system design takes more than guesswork. At Cross Company, we don’t believe in a “see what happens” approach.
That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive project execution model to ensure every project flows perfectly, no matter the scope.
From Basis of Design (BOD) and/or Functional Design Specification (FDS) to Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to Start-Up and Commissioning, we detail and document every step of the process. That way, your project goes exactly as expected.
We can even provide initial documentation as a separate offering. Take a look at the full model or contact Cross Company’s Process Solutions group to learn more.
