Anand June 7 Installing India's first vapour absorption machine in dairy sector, Amul Dairy is set to lead the sector on energy front too.

With Amul products now being exported to 40-odd countries, the products' prices have to be competitive across global market. Hence, Amul is optimising cost of production by deploying new technology to conserve energy.

Technology

The vapour absorption machine (VAM), installed recently for variable load pattern in Amul Dairy, is the first major successful waste heat-run cooling technology in the dairy sector, according to a release here.

Unlike conventional power-run refrigerated chillers, the vapour absorption chillers in VAM are recovering waste heat from flue gases of gas engine at the dairy plant. In the process, the VAM is generating refrigeration used as a cooling agent to produce 3.5ºC chilled water for processing of milk.

The vapour absorption cooling technology has emerged as an economic and eco-friendly solution to the ever-increasing power cost, declining power availability and increasing emission of pollutants, the release added.
