On-Site Electricity Generation And Steam Capture For Dairy

On-site electricity generation and steam capture for dairy

The Challenge

Improve process efficiency and reduce energy bills

Aggreko was asked to find a cost-effective solution to reduce energy bills at a dairy site owned by Great Britain’s largest milk supplier and distributor.

The dairy was previously completely dependent on the national grid for electricity, with separate gas-fired boilers used to produce steam for site processes.

This resulted in an inefficient and expensive system where heat and steam, that could be used for processes such as clarification and pasteurisation, was being lost.
