Energy and the Pasteurised Milk Industry

Energy & Environment, 1993, vol. 4, issue 1, 58-78

Abstract: This paper focuses on energy cost and consumption in the pasteurised milk sector of the dairy industry which accounts for over 90 percent of the UK milk market. Although the industry is not considered to be energy intensive, it has been shown that there is a significant potential for savings, typically 2.2 million GJ/annum or £10.5 million/annum. This paper aims to show how the pasteurised milk sector can achieve these potential savings, using as its example a recent study of a liquid milk dairy in South Wales. The implementation of Monitoring and Targeting methods for energy management, combined heat and power (CHP) generation and third party energy management are introduced, since these are considered to be novel solutions for this sector of industry.
