An energy use analysis was performed on a fresh and frozen fish processing company to identi& current levels of energy consumption and establish an energy conservation program. Electrical energy constituted 79% and 87% of the fish and ice plants ' energy consumption, respectively. Baseload electricity in the j s h plant was 88% and 30% in the ice plant. The fish plant's intensity index was 1,882.3 BTU/lb (4,371.9 KJ/Kg) of product while the ice plant's 172.5 BTU/lb (399.6 U / K g ) of ice. Ihe truckingjeet had a h e l intensity index of 29,910. 6 BTUlmile (19,630.6U/Km) and was the largest energy consumer accounting for 60% of the company's total energy usage. Proposed energy conservation measures can lead to significant reductions in the current levels of energy consumption. 'Correspondance should be mailed to: Mr. Leopoldo G.
