Utilities Uses
These are uses of some utilities:
• Electricity is providing a plant with electricity-energy to enable
the machines such as composers and pumps in a factory to start work.
• Steam is one of the most important utility to a plant as we
know steam can carried more heat and because steam is used in so
many industrial applications, most chemical plants and refineries
have their own steam generation facilitates.
• Water used for all purposes throughout the
plant and in specific units such as boilers and usually must be
treated for purity.
• Also, we can consider machineries as utility
that offer service to factory such as forklift and trucks
• Nitrogen gas is used primarily as inert gas for blanketing vessels
and lines or for conveying combustible materials and sometimes as
a backup for instrument air.
• Air is used for unit house stations (general
