North slope businesses benefit from new practice: idle-reduction technology makes sense, saves dollars.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
Some ideas just make sense. And some ideas add up to dollars and cents.
Such is the case for idle-reduction technologies in use by more and more companies operating heavy equipment across Prudhoe Bay, according to Terry Howard, director of equipment operations for Arctic Slope Regional Corp. He said collectively idle-reduction technology has the potential to save millions in fuel and maintenance costs for heavy equipment operating in Prudhoe Bay.
"When you put the pencil to it and do round numbers, they go up so fast," Howard said.
Here's a rough look at some of those numbers.
Assume there are about 2,000 pieces of equipment in Prudhoe Bay, each consuming about four gallons of fuel an hour, Howard said.
That means a savings of 8,000 gallons of fuel for every hour that equipment isn't idling, he said. Over the course of 10 hours, that's a savings of 80,000 gallons.
