Energy Efficiency
in Food Industry

The Challenge

Electricity and Natural Gas consumption

Problem

• Average water consumption of 0,12 m³ per tonne produced

• Average electricity consumption of 40,7 kWh per tonne produced

• Average gas consumption of 335,6 kWh per tonne produced

Root Causes

• Limited visibility of detailed information related to the consumption of steam, electricity and raw materials

• Lack of detailed information to enable the launch of effective countermeasures to correct deviations in equipment consumption

The Solution

Condenser Recovery

Daily countermeasure routine

• Continuous in-line measurement of electricity, steam and raw material consumption. These measurements will serve as the basis for the costing model and parameterisation of products in the system

• Visibility of detailed consumption data in a visual format. This data is analysed as part of a daily routine which includes the definition of countermeasures

• Condenser recovery through maintenance and replacement of equipment and components
