The Project
A molasses ethanol waste plant upgrade was undertaken due to end of life hardware issues. This included complete re-work of the electrical and control systems for the manufacturing, batching and trucking processes.
Results
- Production output was increased significantly, allowing the plant to be reduced from 24 hour operation to 2 day-time shifts. This equated to a 33% decrease in operational labour costs.
- Improved batching and recipe management enabled faster product manufacturing changeover. This increased the utility of the system with a broader range of customers serviced.
