Rotary kilns: Major energy efficiency potential helps decarbonize industrial sites
Industrial rotary kilns are energy-intensive equipment items that are particularly well suited to improvement through energy efficiency projects. In this article, we explore four scenarios for reducing the CO2 emissions of rotary kilns and, consequently, their operating costs, as well as for recovering and harnessing the heat they produce to generate power.
Montreal’s Lantic Sugar refinery goes on an energy-reducing diet
Montréal’s Lantic Sugar refinery has been investing in sustainable development projects for many years and wanted to take another step toward decarbonization. With the support of Ecosystem, an energy optimization firm, and grants from Énergir, Lantic implemented heat recovery measures that have enabled it to reduce its GHG emissions, natural gas consumption and operating costs.
