Lamb Weston Meijer agus a nàbaidh a’ sàbhaladh lùth ann am pròiseact gun samhail

Buntàta giullachair Lamb Weston / Meijer and Wiskerke Onions are working hard on the construction of a residual heat connection between the two adjacent companies.

They are installing heat exchangers, pipe systems and a system for measuring and monitoring energy consumption. This system channels the excess heat from Lamb Weston / Meijer to Wiskerke Onions. This saves the two neighbours the annual energy consumption of 300 households.

Erik de Been, speaking for Lamb Weston / Meijer:

“Tha sinn air deagh chlàr-ama gus an stàladh ùr a choimiseanadh aig deireadh an Ògmhios 2018.”

Chayenne Wiskerke, stiùiriche Wiskerke Onions:

“’S e sin toiseach na h-ùine nuair a bhios sinn a’ tiormachadh ar buain uinneanan.”

“San dòigh sin, is urrainn dhuinn dearbhadh sa bhad na buannachdan àrainneachdail a gheibh sinn leis an stàladh ùr seo.”

Cùmhnant Uaine

An teas a tha air fhàgail phròiseact Tha co-obrachadh an dà chompanaidh àiteachais a’ freagairt ri poileasaidh sòisealta Roinn Zeeland a tha ag amas air gluasad lùtha adhartachadh (cleachdadh connadh fosail a lughdachadh).

Mar sin, tha Roinn Zeeland air Cùmhnant Uaine a chrìochnachadh leis an riaghaltas meadhanach, agus tha Roinn Zeeland air subsadaidh de faisg air €800,000 a thoirt seachad airson a’ phròiseict seo.

The project is being facilitated by the Smart Delta Resources platform, an alliance of eleven energy and raw materials-intensive companies in the Southwest Delta region, including Lamb Weston / Meijer.

Iomlaid teas

After processes such as peeling potatoes with steam peelers and pre-baking potato products, Lamb Weston / Meijer is left with energy that is of too low a quality for other parts of the production process. But the next-door company Wiskerke Onions can make good use of this energy to dry the onion harvest.

For that purpose, Lamb Weston / Meijer collects this energy via heat exchangers. These heat up water, which then flows to Wiskerke Onions. Once the heat has been released, the cooled water flows back to these heat exchangers, to be reheated in the production process of Lamb Weston / Meijer.

Comas sàbhalaidh

Cho luath ‘s a thèid an stàladh ùr a chur an gnìomh san Ògmhios 2018, bidh e comasach dha na com-pàirtichean tomhas dìreach dè an ìre lùtha a tha iad a’ sàbhaladh. Tha an comas sàbhalaidh ris a bheil dùil timcheall air 500,000 m3 de ghas nàdarrach agus lùghdachadh ann an sgaoilidhean de mu 875 tunna de CO2. Bidh seo a’ sàbhaladh timcheall air an ìre lùtha bliadhnail de 300 teaghlach.

Wiskerke Onions is paying the lion’s share of the €1.6 million investment. Wiskerke Onions is also receiving almost €800,000 and Lamb Weston / Meijer about €13,000 in subsidies from the Province of Zeeland.

Air a dhèanamh comasach le taic-airgid

Tha Ben de Reu, ball de Bhòrd Riaghlaidh Roinneil Roinn Zeeland, a’ toirt cunntas air a’ chom-pàirteachas eadar an dà chompanaidh bìdh-àiteachais eadar-nàiseanta mar rud gun samhail san t-saoghal.

Beinn de Reu:

“Nì an taic-airgid seo bhon Chùmhnant Uaine am pròiseact seo èifeachdach a thaobh cosgais.”

“Às aonais subsadaidh, bhiodh an ùine pàighidh air ais ro fhada agus cha bhiodh an siostam teasachaidh fuigheallach seo seasmhach a thaobh ionmhais.”

“Anns a’ chùis sin, cha bhiodh an ceangal teas fuigheallach – agus na sàbhalaidhean lùtha uile co-cheangailte ris – air an coileanadh. Tha leasachadh phròiseactan a dhèanamh nas fhasa tron ​​àrd-ùrlar Smart Delta Resources (SDR) air a bhith na chuideachadh mòr don seo.”
