Tennent ’ s commitment to innovation , efficiency , and sustainability shines through its partnership with SEEPEX .
Additionally , Tennent ’ s has partnered with SEEPEX to improve energy efficiency in its spent grain transfer process , which is the most air intensive process on site .
Improved Efficiency , Productivity , and Energy Savings
Together with SEEPEX , Tennent ’ s explored the benefits of SEEPEX ’ s cutting-edge Smart Air Injection ( SAI ) technology . This groundbreaking solution combines an open hopper progressive cavity pump and pneumatic dense-phase conveying to efficiently transfer 15-40 % DS spent grains , draff , and hops in plugs . Controlled air pulses enable seamless conveying over long distances .
Tennent ’ s Brewery embraces innovation with SEEPEX ’ s Smart Air Injection , revolutionising spent grain transfer efficiency .
SEEPEX established the optimum operation point with minimum air consumption to reduce the original air consumption and carbon footprint , and also assessed the energy efficiency in comparison with the initial system . SEEPEX was able to calculate all the consumptions eliminating the need to carry out a trial .
A Path to Sustainability : Scottish Industrial Energy Transformation Fund
The demonstrated energy efficiency from SEEPEX Smart Air Injection ( SAI ) enabled Tennent ’ s to access the Scottish Industrial Energy Transformation Fund ( SIETF ), designed to support the development and deployment of technologies that enable businesses with high energy use to transition to a low carbon future . Through this , the government funded 30 % of the project .
Decreased Air Use and Transfer Times
Air consumption has decreased by an impressive 56 %, dropping from ~ 1,125Nm ³ to 500-700Nm ³ per brew . Furthermore , there is a decrease in spent grain transfer time associated with the SAI system . The reduction in air use contributes to Tennent ’ s carbon reduction plan by reducing electricity use within the site .
