Project Type: Sustainability


Pasteuriser Energy Reduction

Our client wanted to reduce the energy consumption (Hot water generated from coal fired boilers and Chilled Water) of two of their Pasteuriser and AMF plants as part of their aggressive sustainability commitments.

Techo Ltd were selected to deliver this project because our solution provided the highest energy saving guarantees. We were able to deliver these ambitious results by developing an innovative design that overcame a number of significant constraints, including limited space within which to position new equipment while still ensuring operation and maintenance tasks could be carried out safely.

Procurement and onsite construction were carried out during the strict lockdown which was in place early on in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Once commissioned the upgraded processes exceeded the guaranteed energy savings. In addition the chilled water reduction was so great that an older refrigeration plant could be decommissioned, saving an estimated $4m of capital which would have been required to upgrade it for compliance.

Project Value: $1.5 Million

Duration: 12 Months

Project Type: Turn-key delivery of all aspects of works. Health & Safety managed under the clients Safe Work System

Key Points:

  • 2,650kW of Hot Water saving (generated from a coal fired boiler)
  • 2,900kW of Chilled Water saving
  • 630kW of Cooling tower water saving
  • Annual savings of 5,000MT of carbon emissions!

Outcome:

  A client that is very happy with a relatively small investment achieving very significant sustainability benefits
