Overview: Compudye, dye plant in New York City, serving the apparel and knitwear industries. The company spends about $300,000 per year for water use and disposal. In the last quarter of 2001, a reverse-osmosis system was installed at the plant to reduce energy consumption by 420,000 therms. This will result in an annual electricity cost reduction of $139,000 and an annual water and sewer cost reduction of $144,000. Compudye's current objective is to install a combined heat and power (CHP, also known as cogeneration) system to lower energy costs, and reduce electric peak load.
