Division 11.1 Energy efficiency
United Kingdom
BAT 33. In order to increase energy efficiency, BAT is to use an appropriate combination of the techniques specified in BAT 6 and of the techniques given below.
| Technique | Description | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | Single pasteuriser for nectar/juice production | Use of one pasteuriser for both the juice and the pulp instead of using two separate pasteurisers. | May not be applicable due to the pulp particle size. |
| (b) | Hydraulic sugar transportation | Sugar is transported to the production process with water. As some of the sugar is already dissolved during the transportation, less energy is needed in the process for dissolving sugar. | Generally applicable. |
| (c) | Energy-efficient homogeniser for nectar/juice production | See BAT 21b. | |
