Energy efficiency in drying processes by cogeneration in the food additives industry.

Description

In 2014, DTC Soluciones together with a company dedicated to the manufacture of additives and preservatives for the food industry, implemented a natural gas cogeneration system to cover the energy needs of their plant. The objective was to ensure the continuity of the product drying process and reduce operating costs through an efficient and reliable source of energy.

A natural gas-fired C200 distributed generation unit was installed, with the capacity to supply both the plant's electrical demand and to recover and redirect waste heat to the drying process.
