Heat Recovery Loop
Our award-winning heat recovery loop project is just one example of the leading role we are taking in our efforts towards operating in ways that are energy-efficient.
Designed and developed in conjunction with engineering consultants and energy conservation specialists, the heat recovery technology sees products requiring cooling and heating receiving stored energy recovered from other product streams. Essentially, this means that product streams are indirectly heated and cooled by each other.
Already the technology has cut Fonterra’s energy use by 11 megawatts and, once it is rolled out across other manufacturing sites, it will help us reach our target to reduce energy spend by 10 per cent.
