The Wenlock Water bottling plant washes, sterilises and fills the large bottles used in water coolers. The process calls for a lot of hot water and creates a lot of wasted heat. This presented the opportunity for Arcade to use their specialist knowledge to capture and reuse this waste energy.

Key challenges:

• Installing a system that recycles ~90% of the waste energy
• The need to reduce the business’s carbon footprint and energy consumption
• Operating in a live food factory that is active 24/7

Solutions:

• Working in a hygienic and covid-safe manner, the team utilised specialist knowledge to efficiently capture and recycle the waste energy
• A smart control system manages the legacy boiler to ensure that no energy is wasted.
• The engineers also installed a pasteurising unit that uses the recycled heat for steaming and cooling. This will allow the business to grow their business.
