5 Boundaries and scope of energy consumption statistics
5.1 Process boundary division
The boundary of continuous galvanizing process starts from the input of raw materials (raw steel coils and zinc ingots, etc.), energy, and energy-consumed mediums, and ends with the output of the final hot-dip galvanized steel coil products and the externally supplied energy.
Refer to Annex A for the boundary division of the continuous galvanizing process.
5.2 Scope of energy consumption statistics
The scope of energy consumption statistics for the continuous galvanizing process is defined as follows:
a) Including dedicated water and gas supply systems separately equipped for the production line, in which case the corresponding energy-consumed medium is selected and input;
b) Including all sub-processes of the continuous galvanizing process, as well as the feeding process of raw material steel coils and the process of going off-line, packaging and warehousing of steel coil products;
c) Including machine maintenance, inspection, laboratory testing, metering, transportation, production management and scheduling systems, as well as auxiliary production systems such as heating or cooling, lighting, and storage;
d) Including the loss of various energy sources within the interface of the continuous galvanizing process;
e) Excluding recycled and externally supplied energy sources;
f) Excluding energy used for life purposes, such as canteen, offices, and rest rooms, which are not related to production; and
g) Excluding treatment of waste water, waste gas and solid waste.
