INTRODUCTION
Enhancing Sustainability and Efficiency in Vegetable Oil Production
We partnered with Alfa Laval to provide the ample scope definition and industrialize the custom centrifuge separator solution that was optimized for the client’s application in vegetable oil production.
Challenge
High cooling water usage and frequent maintenance requirements
Our contribution was to define and address the clients’ significant challenges in their vegetable oil production processes, including high cooling water usage and frequent maintenance requirements, which led to increased operational costs and environmental impact at several operational sites.
In the final costumer solution Alfa Laval implemented advanced centrifugal separators designed to optimize the separation process in vegetable oil production. These separators are engineered to significantly reduce water consumption and maintenance needs.
Result
Optimized separation process in client vegetable oil production
By partnering with Valoriim, Alfa Laval could industrialize and implement a successful and efficient separator solution to the customer’s operations, including the following benefits.
50% Reduction in Cooling Water Usage: By integrating Alfa Laval’s centrifugal separators, the clients achieved a substantial decrease in cooling water consumption, contributing to more sustainable operations.
80% Lower Maintenance Costs: The advanced design of the separators also led to a dramatic reduction in maintenance requirements, enhancing uptime and operational efficiency.
Improved Operational Efficiency: The overall efficiency of the production process was significantly improved, allowing the clients to meet their production targets more effectively while minimizing environmental impact.
