General techniques to increase energy efficiency are given in Section 1.3 of these BAT conclusions. Indicative environmental performance levels are presented in the table below.

Table 2

Indicative environmental performance levels for specific energy consumption

The lower end of the range can be achieved when pelleting is not applied.

The specific energy consumption level may not apply when fish and other aquatic animals are used as raw material.

The upper end of the range is 0,12 MWh/tonne of products for installations located in cold climates and/or when heat treatment is used for Salmonella decontamination.
