Increasing Dairy Production by 13% Through Efficient Steam Generation

A prominent dairy processor in Southern India manages an extensive daily production of 600,000 liters of milk. To support such high-volume processing, the facility relies on a steady supply of high-pressure steam, which is essential for pasteurisation and other critical operations.

Objective

PROBLEM

The facility was operating with manual boilers fueled by wood chips and briquettes. This setup caused several critical issues like:

  • Pressure Instability: Significant pressure fluctuations hampered the efficiency of downstream equipment.
  • Inconsistent Output: Lack of automated pressure control led to production bottlenecks.
Solution

SOLUTION

Leveraging the local availability of natural gas, the dairy processing plant installed a 10 TPH Marshall C Boiler. This dual-fired (CNG/HSD) system replaced the manual solid-fuel process, providing the stable, high-pressure steam required for large-scale dairy operations.

Benefit

BENEFITS

The transition to a modern thermal solution delivered a direct impact on the bottom line:

  • Enhanced Throughput: The facility achieved a 13% improvement in production.
  • Operational Stability: Precise pressure maintenance across all equipment ensured consistent product quality and reduced downtime.
