    Moy Park vastly reduces fuel consumption with state-of-the-art heat recovery system

    Top 15 UK food company Moy Park has vastly reduced fuel-oil consumption at its Anwick site following the installation of a state-of-the-art heat recovery system. The revolutionary heating system – which delivers, environmental, financial and efficiency benefits – was installed and uniquely configured by specialist engineering firm GEA, making it the first system of its kind in the world.

    The new heat recovery system has reduced oil usage by 600,000 litres per annum, and reduced Moy Park’s carbon emissions by 1,430 tonnes of eCo2 – equivalent to 185 UK homes. The system has also increased water storage, improved cleaning processes, and reduced noise at the Anwick site.

    The heating system’s exclusive configuration means that the Anwick factory utilises waste refrigeration heat which would normally be discarded outdoors. The recovered heat is then used instead of boilers to heat water for processing. The system has also lowered water and chemical consumption from the site’s cooling towers resulting in less waste.

    Speaking about the new system, Ben Carrigan, General Manager, Moy Park, said:

    “The results we have witnessed so far from the new system have been astonishing. The system’s unique installation configuration means that not only are we reducing our fuel-oil usage, but we are seeing other environmental benefits at the Anwick site such as Co2 reduction. Moy is committed to delivering environmental savings, and this is just one in a long line of improvements we have made. Last year we celebrated achieving an ambitious goal of sending zero waste to landfill across all 16 of our manufacturing sites throughout Europe, and our agricultural base across the UK.”
