To reduce energy consumption and costs, the J.R. Simplot Company completed a project several years ago that increased the efficiency of the steam system at its potato processing plant in Caldwell, Idaho. Energy and maintenance cost savings total $329,000 per year. Since total project costs were $373,000, the simple payback is less than 14 months. Similar efficiency measures were replicated at other Simplot facilities.
