San Lorenzo
- Use of biomass as alternative fuel, using sunflower seed hull as fuel.
- Energy cogeneration through power generation with steam turbines using their backpressure as steam for the process.
- Reduction in the consumption of process water and steam with the introduction of reverse osmosis, allowing to reduce boilers cycles of concentration, resulting in net savings of 5tn/h of steam. Osmosis reject is used as makeup water for cooling towers.
- Recovering boiler heat for product drying through a pipeline connected to the dryer.
- Burning agricultural waste and discard products for steam generation.
- Connection with neighbor industries for energetic synergy for steam utilization, such process using a remaining steam current.
Avellaneda
- Energetic efficiency.
- Improving biomass burning efficiency, gasifier and torsional chamber, improving boiler reaction and reducing ash emissions.
- Drying of biomass, by recovering energy from flue gases resulting in the energy saving necessary for boiler vaporization.
- Integrating the steam current of the glycerin concentrator in biodiesel plant with the rectification column, reducing the steam needed for this operation.
- Use of biomass as fuel.
- Installation in briquettes gins, for recovering waste as biomass for fuel.
- Introducing sawmill waste as biomass to generate steam.
- Recovering and using waste water from the reverse osmosis process as cooling water, and recovering pump seals water in bioethanol plant reducing the water net consumption in 210m3/day.
- Saving water consumption, by collecting water coming from evaporative condensers, thus being able to reuse it as cooling towers makeup.
- Use of biomass as fuel.
- Introducing spinning and hydrophilic waste as alternative fuel.
