August 8, 2022 – In a significant step towards advancing sustainability and energy efficiency in the dairy industry, CTS Inc. has been awarded a major contract to modernize a dairy product dryer. This project is poised to revolutionize the energy consumption and operational efficiency of the dairy production facility.
The project involves the comprehensive upgrading of the existing dryer system used in the processing of various dairy products. This modernization effort aims to drastically reduce energy consumption, enhance production efficiency, and lower the carbon footprint of the facility.
Campbell Technical Services (CTS) – recognized for its innovative engineering solutions and commitment to environmental sustainability, will leverage its extensive expertise in energy-efficient technologies to carry out this modernization. The company plans to implement cutting-edge heat recovery systems, high-efficiency fans, and advanced control systems to optimize the dryer’s performance.
“We are thrilled to take on this pivotal project,” said Stace Campbell, President and Chief Technical Officer of CTS “Our team is dedicated to providing sustainable engineering solutions that not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations. This project is a testament to our commitment to helping industries achieve their energy efficiency goals.”
The modernization project will involve several phases, starting with a thorough analysis of the current dryer system to identify inefficiencies and potential improvements. CTS will then design and install state-of-the-art components that enhance thermal efficiency and reduce energy wastage. Key upgrades will include:
- Heat Recovery Systems: To capture and reuse waste heat, significantly lowering energy requirements.
- High-Efficiency Fans and Blowers: To optimize airflow and reduce power consumption.
- Upgraded Control System: For precise monitoring and control, ensuring optimal operating conditions and minimal energy use.
Upon completion, the upgraded dryer is expected to reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, significantly cutting operating costs and environmental impact. Additionally, the modernization will improve the overall reliability and lifespan of the equipment, providing long-term benefits to the dairy processing facility.
The award of this project to CTS underscores the growing emphasis on energy efficiency within the dairy industry and other industrial sectors. As energy costs continue to rise and environmental regulations become more stringent, companies are increasingly seeking innovative solutions to enhance their sustainability efforts.
“Modernizing equipment to improve energy efficiency is crucial for the future of industrial operations,” added Justin Campbell, the Automation Lead at CTS “This project not only benefits our client by reducing operational costs but also sets a benchmark for the industry in terms of sustainable practices.”
CTS is slated to begin work on the modernization project starting June 26th, 2023, with completion expected later this year. The successful execution of this project is anticipated to open up further opportunities for CTS with this particular client for other energy efficiency and modernization projects.
With a track record of delivering high-quality engineering projects, CTS continues to lead the way in fostering innovation and sustainability in engineering. This latest contract solidifies their position as a key player in the industry, driving forward the agenda of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.
