Heat and Control heat recovery system
With four tortilla chip ovens operating for three shifts, five days a week, USA snack manufacturer Wyandot Inc saw an opportunity to harness a considerable source of energy that had been going out the exhaust stacks.
Using a partial funding grant from its state energy conservation program, Wyandot purchased from Heat and Control an Energy Recovery Heat Exchanger for each pair of ovens.
Exhaust energy now pre-heats cooking oil before it enters the heat exchangers serving Wyandot’s chip fryers. This reduces natural gas usage by about 20% - almost 20,000 MMBTUs per year - and Heat and Control estimates it will provide a return on investment in two years.
“The system has made a significant impact on our sustainability program,” said plant manager Jim Augur.
In addition to fuel savings, CO2 emissions have been reduced by more than 2.2 million pounds per year, Wyandot says.
