Eurovent Certification’s Post

ICYMI, here is a blog written by my colleague, Grant Samms: https://lnkd.in/g4GUFHrS. In some manufacturing facilities, they pay to heat products in one stage and then pay for cooling it at another stage. Employing heat pumps to pull out the heat during the cooling stage and then use it for the heating phase is an increasingly popular approach to reduce overall energy consumption. 

Last week, the RTC hosted a webinar featuring two of our recent case studies highlighting electrification solutions for decarbonizing process heat in the food and beverage sector. The webinar featured experts involved in the implementation of both solutions, who explained the projects' designs and key outcomes. 1️⃣ Herkkumaa Oy & Elstor Oy: This case study explores how a thermal energy storage system at Herkkumaa’s food manufacturing facility in Finland resulted in $140,000 in annual energy savings and eliminated process steam emissions. Read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/ehqaA5nX 2️⃣ Chivas Brothers & Piller Blowers & Compressors GmbH: This presentation details how mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) heat pump technology enabled Chivas Brothers to recover waste heat and electrify distillation at Glentauchers, reducing carbon emissions by 53%.

V – what does that stand for? V = Versatile! What would you need if you wanted to raise the bar and go all out to increase your efficiency and capacity, as well as reduce your carbon footprint? Right! A Versatile engineering partner and ditto reciprocating compressors. Cut carbon emissions by 80% (!) annually, keep reducing electricity use on site – even if you’ve already made considerable progress on that front – and still remain flexible enough to meet your customers’ changing demands and production throughput: does that sound impossible? Not to Stephen Carlin, milk processor Aurivo’s engineering manager and the driving force behind the upgrade of the Killygordon site in Ireland. Read all about this story of GEA Grasso V reciprocating compressors: https://go.gea/3eW and so much more here: https://go.gea/3eV. And find out why they’ve been awarded Excellence in Energy Efficiency Design (EXEED) Certification by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. #dairyprocessing #ammonia #refrigeration #heatpumps #compressor

A fruitful collaboration between Alfa Laval and Dolomiti led to savings on energy of about €400,000 per year for the Italian fruit juices producer ⚡📉. Read their story now https://lnkd.in/dPcpc7X8 🧃 The company uses Alfa Laval’s state-of-the-art WideGap heat exchanger technology to produce up to 250 tonnes of all-natural, high-quality fruit juices, pulps and purées every day. Besides the significant energy cost savings, other highlights of using the WideGap technology for Dolomiti are improved product quality and cleanliness, a decrease in the pressure drop from 16 to 9 bars, and extra floor space since the new heat exchangers have a smaller footprint than the old equipment. #AlfaLaval #PioneeringPositiveImpact #FoodAndBeverageIndustry #FoodAndBeverage #PlateHeatExchanger

Discover industrial decarbonization in action 🏭🌱 In summer 2023, Absolicon commissioned the solar thermal installation for one of Peroni's breweries in Bari, Italy. The pilot installation marks a key step towards the decarbonization of the brewery and Asahi’s target to become carbon neutral within its breweries by 2030. 💡 The solar thermal installation is powering one of Peroni´s pasteurizer by hot water or steam (depending on customer demand), supported by a heat battery of 30 m3 (storing the heat in the day and discharging the heat in the night). Absolicon regularly organizes project visits to the Peroni plant to show our solar thermal technology in action. Here's what you can expect during the visit: ☀️Live Demonstration: Witness our solar thermal installation in action and gain a better understanding of its practical applications. ☀️In-Depth Conversations: Engage in meaningful discussions with our experts and fellow attendees who share a common interest in sustainable energy solutions. ☀️End-User Insights: Hear directly from the Peroni team about their experiences and the impact our technology has had on their operations.

V – what does that stand for? V = Visionary! In today’s food processing industry, it’s a commonly known fact that installing heat pump systems is an effective way to achieve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Wouldn’t it be fascinating to find out what technology makes it possible to extract and boost what is otherwise unusable low-temperature heat from the refrigeration units? The answer is heat pumps, the heart of which are GEA Grasso V compressors! These reciprocating compressors run on the natural refrigerant ammonia and can make any process in the food industry more sustainable. Like Mars Wrigley’s chocolate factory in Veghel in the Netherlands, where Paul Simons managed to reduce energy consumption across the site by 6% using a GEA customized heat pump solution. Find out here https://lnkd.in/e5jkAvje how it also contributes to a reduction of 1,000,000 m3 of natural gas per year, equivalent to more than 1,000 t CO2 per year. #foodprocessing #ammonia #refrigeration #heatpumps #compressor
