EXPERT CONSULTING:
EXPERIENCE AND KNOW-HOW
Since 1991 STENUM has been consulting companies of every size and from many
different branches, as well as public and private institutions in Austria and internationally.
Behind STENUM stands a highly qualified team with practical experience and
academic backgrounds from the fields of technology, the natural sciences and
economics. Collaboration with universities, research institutes and other experts
ensures the best-possible solutions. All in all our clients have saved over 50 million Euros – within one year after first implementing measures – through increasing energy efficiency, reducing waste and using water and chemicals sparingly.
SHAPE THE PRESENT – CHANGE THE FUTURE
The innovative and efficient steps we take today will build the groundwork for
future corporate success. Our springboard is a comprehensive analysis focusing on resource efficiency, energy efficiency and environmental management.
Suggested measures taken from this groundwork help our clients use resources
efficiently, avoid unnecessary costs and emissions, develop new products and
services and implement sustainability in a practical way.
Made-to-fit consulting, research and development and continuous monitoring
of the implementation of measures ensure that we orient our program to the
needs of our clients.

RESOURCE EFFICIENCY – SAVE MONEY TODAY
TO PROTECT TOMORROW
CLEANER PRODUCTION:
PRACTICAL RESOURCE
EFFICIENCY
LESS IS MORE:
AVOID - REDUCE - RECYCLE
The ground principle of Cleaner Production is the reduction of costs by reducing
waste, wastewater and emissions.
Increasing scarcity of resources, increasing costs for energy and raw materials,
stricter conditions and legal requirements, societal demands for transparency,
and efficient economies create countless challenges for companies.

COMPREHENSIVE COMPANY ANALYSIS
Products
Complex challenges require an integrated approach: Cleaner Production takes
into consideration a variety of factors – technologies, raw materials, emissions,
employees, clients, business partners, procedures, products, etc. – thus yielding
the best-possible outcome: optimized processes and the use of customized technologies.

A systematic analysis of the material flows with appropriate tools shows the starting points for improvements. From here suggestions are made for measures to
be taken; innovative concepts are developed for the use of raw materials, water
and energy; and research projects are begun.

A STRONG FOUNDATION
ACTING INSTEAD OF REACTING
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
The development of energy prices and the legal regimentation of carbon dioxide
emissions through emissions certificate trading are increasingly bringing companies with high-energy consumption under pressure. To continue to produce competitively, companies need strategies for reducing their energy consumption.
Every energy strategy comprises five steps and takes into consideration the integration of regenerative energy carriers:
STRATEGICALLY OPTIMIZED ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Introduction of energy-efficient and low-loss technologies
Optimization of workflows and processes
Energy recovery
Internal energy transfer
External energy transfer
An energy concept for increasing energy efficiency and reducing energy costs
demands a strong foundation. Together, we will describe the relevant electricity
and heat flows in one consistent picture. This includes:
Detailed questions are examined and solutions are developed within research
projects in cooperation with competent institutions and partners.

STENUM´s service package:
Energy supply
Efficiency of electricity and heat consumers in production
processes and supporting processes
Internal energy distribution
For this purpose we use professional methods and tools. Given data are supplemented through measurements and calculations and then depicted graphically.
Efficiency factors are calculated while improvement potentials and approaches
to heat recovery are devised. The result is an optimized approach to lower internal energy costs in a sustainable way.

ANCHORING RESOURCE EFFICIENCY IN THE ORGANIZATION
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
THROUGH INTEGRATED
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
LONG-TERM SUCCESS AS
ENTREPRENEURIAL GOAL
Having to comply with all quality, environmental and safety requirements poses countless challenges for companies. Standardized management systems (ISO
14001:2004, ISO 9001:2008, ISO 18000, ISO 16000) represent modern instruments for ensuring resource efficiency, occupational safety, legal compliance,
quality and environmental protection in an organization.
Integrated management systems provide an efficient solution for the improvement of internal processes and enable the continuous and long-term reduction
of costs. Environmental protection, quality, safety and energy management are
given clear, transparent structures and are documented in an integrated handbook.
Sustainability is achieved by following economic, ecological and social goals,
from which companies, the environment and society can benefit in the long
run.
