Nancy has extensive experience working with energy facilities on operation and maintenance issues. Nancy is focusing much of her work towards steam systems assessment and identification of opportunities for energy conservation. She has worked with facilities to conduct steam trap assessments and learn how to use trap testing instruments. She has prepared economic analysis of various steam trap monitoring programs.
Nancy recently completed a benchmarking and best practices study of 14 Minnesota dry mill ethanol facilities based on 2006 operating data. The study provides an overview of the production process, highlighting where significant energy or water use occurs, and the potential environmental impacts related to production. This report highlighted that there are significant opportunities for process improvement at ethanol facilities. In the summer of 2008, Nancy will be supervising two intern projects at ethanol facilities. One project is focused on reduced energy use and the other on reduced water use.
