General Objective, Framework & Scope

FrieslandCampina its production capacity with a third PET line (PET 3), modeled after the existing PET 1 and 2 lines.

An energy study is required for this expansion as part of the environmental permit process.

Role of Ingenium

Ingenium performs the following services:

• Calculation of the expected annual energy consumption of the expansion
• Assessment of all processes for energy efficiency
• Guidance on the procurement of systems in which the best available technology is applied in an economically viable manner

Final result & techniques

For the expansion of the PET line, Ingenium conducted a comprehensive benchmark study of the key process equipment: blow molding machines, filling machines, and processing equipment. Multiple suppliers were evaluated and compared, with energy efficiency serving as the primary selection criterion. Based on this analysis, optimal technological choices were proposed that strike a balance between performance, sustainability, and economic feasibility. In addition, it was recommended to incorporate sufficient monitoring capabilities to continuously track and optimize energy consumption.
