Heat Recovery as Key to Efficiency and Sustainability in Food Production

To significantly reduce energy consumption, Evers Special B.V., Europe's leading producer of fresh bean sprouts, relies on innovative heat recovery with the self-cleaning E-PLATE heat exchanger.

A large stainless steel container labelled ‘E-Plate’ stands outdoors under a partly cloudy sky, connected to a pipe system and other equipment.

The seedlings are grown in a large, green-lit sprouting facility and covered with a layer of water.

Wastewater Treatment

By using the self-cleaning E-PLATE heat exchanger from DAS Environmental Experts, Dutch company Evers Specials B.V. is making optimum use of the energy potential of its production wastewater from mung bean cultivation. The technology is low-maintenance, trouble-free and ensures a stable process flow. Thanks to efficient heat recovery, Evers Specials saves around 10,000 m³ of gas per month, lowers operating costs and reduces CO₂ emissions by around 107 tonnes in the winter season – a decisive step towards greater sustainability and security of supply.
