Joint contributors of the Award are Ontario Hydro and Midland Public Utilities Commission. Midland Industries, a manufacturer of industrial plastic components, reduced its total energy costs by $32,000, or more than 34 per cent in a programme that began just three years ago. Over $21,000 of this total came from more efficient use of elec- tricity. The Federal Government, through the Society of Plastic Industry of Canada, challenged the industry to improve its energy efficiency by 30 per cent by 1985. A Conservation Survey was carried out by Ontario Hydro and Midland Public Utilities staff in 1978 as part of Midland Industries' efforts to meet this goal. During implementation of Survey suggestions, new ideas were submitted by the Company's Energy Management Committee members and other employees as enthusiasm for the project grew with each successful energy saving change. "In a 24-hour-a-day custom moulding operations like ours, everyone has plenty to do just maintaining production and at first, energy conservation wasn't a high priority item. But we kept at it and as we started to show results, everyone in the plant got enthusiastic. I'm sure any firm starting a conservation programme will find that persistence pays off as it did with us', says L.E. Love, divisional vice- president and general manager. Lighting was an obvious place for savings: unneeded high light levels were reduced; traditional overall area lighting was replaced with work area lights and photo cell controls were used in some locations. ; The practice of leaving auxiliary machines idling when not immediately required was eliminated; others were equipped with automatic timers to shut down on completion of operation; preheating time of moulding machines were reduced and more attention paid to the exact rise of pressure required for a particular operation rather than always using the maximum pressure available. In addition, numerous other changes with one or two years pay-back times were also made or are planned. Mr. Love says the Company will also be installing load management equipment as suggested by the Ontario Hydro Small Industries Load Management Study. This will allow the Control of peak demands and bring about further reductions in the Company's electricity bill. The Award will be presented by F.A. Perttula, director of Ontario Hydro's Georgian Bay Region, and C.E. Buck, chairman of the Midland Public Utilities Commission at the Midland Industries plant at 2 p.m. Page 8, Wednesday, April 29, 1981 te? vIVeA ' ? by Cindy Lockhart Over the Easter weekend, Debbie and Vanda French spent some time at home visiting their parents.
