Optimization of heat and power consumption by cogeneration in the dairy industry

Description

In 2019, DTC Soluciones together with a company specialized in the production of dairy products, incorporated a cogeneration system with natural gas to cover its electrical demand and take advantage of waste heat for steam generation, essential in various pasteurization, cleaning and sterilization processes.

The company installed a 600 kW natural gas distributed generation unit (1-C600), designed to operate in cogeneration. The system allows producing electricity and, at the same time, recovering waste heat for steam generation through a specialized heat exchanger.
