One of the largest vertically-integrated agriculture companies in the Siberian Region of Russia consisting of a pig-breeding complex and a meat-processing plant requested the RUSEFF experts to assess potential energy saving opportunities. The company is a leading meat products supplier and also a heat supplier for municipal consumers and industrial enterprises.
The current production process which requires low steam pressure uses an inefficient conventional pressure reducing cooling station.
The RUSEFF experts advised how the installation of a steam turbine to replace the pressure reducing system would result in the energy savings equivalent of 8 429 MWh annually.
The proposed investment of USD 1.33 million will result in lower fuel consumption and reduced electricity costs, which will lead to annual savings of USD 272 000, a payback period of 5 years, yielding a 42.8% return on investment in terms of energy savings.
