Food Processing - June 2008 - (Page 54) P L A N T O P E R AT I O N S New-age alternatives Infor’s enterprise asset management system now includes “asset sustainability” features that can take measurements of electricity used, factor in all machines’ performance data and calculate an entire plant’s carbon dioxide emissions (carbon footprint) – as well as plant profitability. compressor banks, filters and storage tanks can prevent pressure drops, reduce peak loading (avoid too-small tanks to minimize excessive cycling) and keep those packaging line actuators clicking. Integrating compressor controls into a single system also is important for reducing inefficient cycling of multiple units during an intermittent surge, such as a clean-in-place purge. An interest in alternative energy sources drove Frito-Lay to tap AEA for a project at the snack giant’s SunChips plant in Modesto, Calif. On this past Earth Day (April 22), Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger flipped the switch on a new solar array that comprises a five-acre field of 192 parabolic-mirrored solar collectors. ey rotate with the sun to focus heat on water running through glass tubes, ultimately feeding the plant’s boiler system. When the second half of the field is completed this July, the solar field will generate more than 75 percent of the heat energy needed to produce SunChips. at and other Frito-Lay energy innovation projects reportedly fueled parent PepsiCo’s own industry-leading resource conservation programs, which require engineers to meet various Energy Star and LEED standards. Trees, wood chips, tallow, oat hulls — anything that burns — is a hot topic for feeding indirect heat to all manner of equipment. Likewise, digesters can turn effluent into methane. But while biomass sounds like a great idea, “processes fluctuate, and you don’t always have a consistent, continuous supply,” says Burns & McDonnell’s Swanson. “Otherwise, the investment to accommodate it is wasted.” “For a long time, people didn’t consider a project if it didn’t pay back in 12 or 18 months,” says Mark Frey, vice president and man- 54 • FOOD PROCESSING JUNE 2008 FOODPROCESSING.COM http://www.intersystems.net http://www.azic.com http://www.azic.com http://www.intersystems.net http://FOODPROCESSING.COMFOODPROCESSING.COM
