In November 2017, the techniques of the new third production hall were provisionally completed.
Here, as for P1 and P2, Industium was responsible for the design and follow-up of the special techniques, with mainly utilities, HVAC, sanitary facilities, electricity and sprinkler as techniques. This third production hall covers about 7,500 m² and is provided in terms of techniques for different production lines for preparing, baking and packaging caramelized biscuits. One line for caramelized biscuits was started in 2017 and a second line was added in the summer of 2018. This was necessary to efficiently meet the increasing demand for caramelized biscuits.
In 2019, work began on the modification of the corporate offices that will be delivered during 2020. Prior to the design of the techniques, also by Industrium, the energy study required to obtain the environmental permit was prepared. An energy study must demonstrate that the facility to be put into operation is the most energy-efficient facility that is economically feasible, i.e. that the Best Available Techniques (BAT) are used. Furthermore, the operator must demonstrate in the energy study that more energy-efficient installations available on the market, or measures that can be taken additionally to increase the energy efficiency of the facility, have an IRR of less than 15% after taxes. Special attention has been paid here to a major consumer, namely industrial refrigeration plants. Taking into account the increased need of P1 and the actual need of P2, the additional cooling plant for P3 has been designed so that the highest possible EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) can be achieved. Meanwhile, Industrium has also started designing the techniques for the offices in front at the Gentstraat in Lembeke. The offices that currently house Lotus Bakeries' sales, marketing and IT will be completely renovated by approximately the second quarter of 2019. In particular, Ingenium thoroughly investigated these possibilities: electrification of ovens, use of residual heat, electric boilers, heat pumps.
