Almeco contributes to sustainable water supply Alpro
In recent years, Flanders has been struggling with water shortages during the summer and this has a major impact on industry. This also has huge consequences for Alpro since water is an essential part of their production process. That is why Alpro, in collaboration with the Watergroup, decided to invest in a new water treatment plant. Eurowater was their partner for the delivery of this installation.
For this water treatment plant, Eurowater was looking for a energy-efficient way to cool the effluent to make sure the maximum temperature would not be exceeded. This problem was presented to Almeco and we immediately set to work with great enthusiasm.
Almeco supplies a closed cooling tower with stainless steel bund that ensures the effluent can be cooled in an effective and energy efficient manner. The cooling tower includes a centrifugal fan driven by an EC motor. This motor ensures a real optimisation in terms of energy efficiency; something that is very important these days.
In addition, a silencer was installed on the suction side of the cooling tower. This silencer limits sound propagation and thus prevents noise pollution.
In short, a tailor made solution for Eurowater's problem and a nice contribution to a sustainable water treatment plant.
