As in many aspects it’s importantnot to cut corners when considering such a system. The initialinvestment should be taken out thoroughly, after which thereshould conceivably be a ROI within the next few years. Another way that companies are trying to save both moneyand the environment is to re-use as many resources as possible.Hardly a new initiative, re-use over recycle is a term mostchildren will have been educated about in primary school, butnew technologies help to make it applicable to specificindustries. A growing trend within the EU and America is thatof Heat Recovery Systems. Heat Recovery takes what heat isproduced as a result of one process within a plant, which wouldnormally be expelled as waste air, and instead capturing it andusing it in another part of the factory. Obviously this negatesthe need for money to be spent on the second part of theprocess, and means that the Co2 emissions are effectivelyhalved. A typical method of Heat Recovery is by using pipes whichpump used water around the plant. In most cases a pipe thatpumps hot water will be joined alongside one that pumps cold,and the heat will transfer between the two pipes to heat thecolder one. A traditional problem for this in the food and drinkindustry was that water often contained small particles of foodmatter, which meant the pipes needed to be a decent width toprevent blockages. However when a pipe is too wide, theamount of heat transferred is reduced, so it was a difficultbalance between efficiency, cost and frequency of being blocked.The final line was that Heat Recovery Systems were often seenas too expensive and risky for many large scale operations. Thiswas most apparent in the food pasteurisation process, which hasbecome increasingly necessary for most manufacturers. HRS designed a solution for the problem in their corrugatedheat transfer pipes. These kept the pipes at a reasonable widthto prevent blocking from particles or fibre content, yet stilloffered heat transfer levels up to two and a half times greaterthan smooth pipes, without a similar level of pressure loss.Because the solution was also a design one, it didn’t make theprocess any more expensive to install in a system, where many38-41:Layout 1 20/4/12 10:58 Page 3ENVIRONMENTAL SPOTLIGHTwww.fdiforum.net41other solutions that engineers wereconsidering might result in exoticmaterials being used. The corrugatedpattern, which is present inside the tubeas well, creates a level of turbulence inthe water being pumped through, whichreduces the chance of sediment orparticles sticking to the sides of the pipesand necessitating cleaning. All of thisleads to less downtime and risk ofbefouling or blockage, while stillmaintaining an efficient solution. The ramifications of such aninstallation for most food processors arethat immediate cost savings can be madein addition to the saving offeredenvironmentally. When less artificialmethods of heating are needed, theemissions of a plant will be noticeablyless, as well as the cost of whateverheating method was previously used. It’s also important to note that whilehot water can transfer to heat otherwater, the term heat is just as applicableto cooling and refrigeration applications,which are often just as common in thefood and drink process. A full integratedsystem could cut energy costs by as muchas 75%, as well as reducing the amountof water that is used throughout theplant. The obvious savings to both theenvironment and a company’s financialbottom line cannot be understated. One area of the food and drink processwhich is drawing a large amount of mediaattention lately is that of theenvironmental impacts of refrigerantsused in the industry. Currently a largeamount of the attention is being focusedagainst the automobile industry, who usethe same refrigerants in air conditioning,but with the changes drawing to a closethere, the food and drink industry is sureto be the next target.Refrigerants have changed greatly overthe last sixty years, with all of theoriginally used refrigerants such asammonia and methyl chloride beingbanned due to their potential dangers.These were then replaced by the HCFC’s,which were used for over fifty years beforethey too were phased out because of theirpotential dangers to the environment.Ever since then the industry has firmlyfocused on the HFC generation, and themost popular choice R404A. Research hasfound that this refrigerant is used in over95% of supermarkets, 70% of refrigeratedtransport and 50% of food and drinkmanufacturing plants. Ironically, the reason for this is not thatit’s the best refrigerant. The main reasonfor R404A’s ubiquitous use within theindustry is mere convenience. R404A issuitable for a wide array of applications,which cuts down maintenance andrefitting costs of equipment, as well asmeaning only a single store of R404A isneeded for all machines, rather than acollection of different refrigerants. The problem with R404A however isthe impact it has on the environment,especially in the levels of global warming.Official statistics measure this in theform of GWP or global warmingpotential, and R404A scores at a ratherworrying 3922 GWP. To put this incomparison, CO2 is used with the samelevel of efficiency in some greener plants,and has 1GWP. The main reason peoplehave not changed to CO2 however is thedifficult of using it, and the very specificequipment that is made necessary. Incases such as supermarkets where thiswould need to be rolled out overthousands of different locations, the costsquickly become unfeasible. Were it just for this issue then it isunlikely that the usage of R404A wouldchange, but the EU has stepped forwardwith their upcoming F gas regulations.Many industry experts expect this tofollow almost the exact same method asall the previous versions, where R404Awill be phased out of use over a period ofup to five years, before eventually beingmade illegal. A very likely result of theregulation will be a GWP limit, oncepassed a company will incur harsh fines,this will soon make R404A a very unwisechoice for companies.Thankfully a complete refit of a site toCO2 is not the only solution. The latestgeneration of refrigerants, termed asHFO’s have recently been pioneered, andone in particular has found EU backingto have it installed in all automobileswithin Europe and America, this isR1234yf. Pioneered by Honeywell andDuPont, this refrigerant performs muchthe same job as R404A, R1234yf has just5 GWP score, making it one of thelowest scoring artificial refrigerantsavailable on the market. What’s more,R1234yf uses much the same equipmentas R404A, with some minor retrofittingbeing necessary. This makes it morefiscally possible for large companies, andit has already become a hit withsupermarkets, who are testing it in someof their European stores.Switching a refrigerant used is possiblyone of the cheapest ways for a companyto have a large impact on theirenvironmental impact and carbonfootprint, and may soon becomemandatory by law. It’s worth everyone inthe industry taking the time to considertheir choices ahead of the legislation, andmake the changes while the mediacoverage is good. Those who fail to takethe initiative may find themselveshighlighted negatively as the EU beginsto take note of the large global warmingimpact the food and drink industry hascaused. Seemingly innocent, therefrigerants in chillers area huge source of globalwarming gasses. 38-41:Layout 1 20/4/12 10:58 Page 4Corrugated tube heat exchangers Scraped surface heat exchangersTurnkey processing plants Plate Heat Exchangers Piston PumpsHRS Heat Exchangers offers a wide range of heat exchangers for hygienic processing in the food industry:Tube in tubeTriple tubeMulti tubeScraped surface PlateFOOD SYSTEMS:HRS is able to combine its products into complete processing plants.Thanks to our experience of over 20 years in the market we can offer ourcustomers a wide range of modular system solutions, suitable for the mostcommon scenarios.The core of the system solution that HRS offers is the thermal treatmentsection: any kind of heat exchanger combination can be used for obtaining the best result for the pasteurisation or sterilisation process.

It is a Thermal process where energy is invested to separate waterfrom the effluent, thus reducing its volume. The evaporated water, whencondensed, can be reused again. In environmental processing the effluentis often a fouling substance. Normal Evaporators would have a limited operation time between stops for cleaning. HRS has overcome this problemby applying the Unicus scraped surface evaporator. The scraped surface means constant removal of fouling which maintains theconstant evaporation capacity. The Unicus can evaporate to very high levelsof concentration.Contact Michael Adkins at HRS for more informationT: 01923 232335 michael.adkins@hrs.co.uk www.hrs.co.uk42:Layout 1 19/4/12 10:19 Page 1SUSTAINABILITYLIVE!also be taking place at Sustainable Business- The Event, offering a unique platform forindustry experts to showcase the productsand services that are helping to create moresustainable businesses.
