This factory is dedicated to the production of canned foods, producing 25 million tins per year of seafood, shellfish and fish products that are exported to two continents. 60% is sold in Spain, while the rest reaches markets including the USA, Germany, the UK, France, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia and Mexico. The new factory has represented a challenge for the company that has aimed to achieve a cutting-edge premises based on renewable energy and energy saving equipped with the latest technology in the canning sector. Its innovative features include the wood chip biomass boiler that offers environmental benefits, with nearly-zero CO2 emissions and a saving of 65% compared to conventional energy sources. It has also incorporated a curtain wall, high density polycarbonate panels, low-emission glazing and an envelope around the entire premises that allows natural light to enter plus the thermal control of the interior. All of this results in a significant energy saving for the company. Moreover, an exhaustive control system has been installed to monitor electricity consumption and the water cycle. Biomass installation Steam boiler The company Aresol Servicios Energéticos, part of Grupo Aresol, has undertaken the installation of a steam biomass boiler manufactured by LSolé with a productive capacity of 4,000 kg/h of steam at a maximum service pressure of 10 bar. The boiler’s feed system is equipped with a rotary valve and double wormgear feeder, as well as a safety device for fire protection to avoid flash-back. The boiler oven has a cooled moving grate that provides optimal distribution of the fuel inside the combustion chamber, allowing the use of fuels with up to 50% humidity. The highly efficient design of the combustion chamber and the flue gas passes offer a low level of consumption. The large volume of water available combined with generous size of the steam chamber guarantee both the continuous production of steam and quality dry air. Complete and careful insulation of the boiler with 100 mm thick mineral rock wool minimises heat losses.
