Svenska Foder AB’s factory in Hällekis, Sweden, produces
around 130,000 tons per year of animal feed in a process that
requires large quantities of wet steam in the feed press. The
steam requirement varies considerably and there has been
potential for improving the effectiveness of the plant.
Svenska Foder has installed an Opcon Powerbox WST-CU
which improves the efficiency of production by enabling consistent and optimised production of steam. This also reduces the
factory’s operating and maintenance costs.
With Opcon Powerbox WST-CU the factory receives process
steam, biofuel-based electricity generation and hot water that
can be supplied to the municipality’s district heating system.
