Heat recovery technologies have wide applications in the food and beverage industry. From breweries and bottling operations, to food processing, packaging, and other food and beverage operations, heat recovery technologies can help companies reduce their energy costs while lowering their greenhouse gas emissions. Here is a case study that looks at one of our FLU-ACE heat recovery systems installed at one of a leading cereal manufacturer's plants.
Thermal Energy International implemented a FLU-ACE Condensing Heat Recovery System on the plant’s boiler exhaust. The system was designed to recover up to 5 MMBtu/h of waste heat energy that would otherwise be exhausted to the atmosphere.
The recovered heat, in the form of water at 60°C, is used to heat and preheat:
This project was implemented on a turn-key basis, and was completed on budget and on schedule.
The recovered heat, in the form of water at 60°C, is used to heat and preheat:
- Boiler plant make up water
- Plant hot water (CIP & wash water)
This project was implemented on a turn-key basis, and was completed on budget and on schedule.
Benefits include:
- 33,000 MMBtu/year waste heat recovered
- 10% reduction in gas consumption annually
- $500,000 in fuel savings annually
- Heating of process water & boiler make up water
- Over 2,000 tons/year of greenhouse gas reduction
- Verified payback of under two years
