# Meat Processing/Slaughterhouses

Meat Packing plants, Value-Added Meat Processing Plants, Abattoirs (Slaughterhouses), Butcher Shops, Export Processing Plants

Recovering excess heat from meat processing plants and slaughterhouses is challenging as the exhaust air might be laden with rendered fat, oil and grease from processing operations, and might contain particulate matter like dust, trace elements from animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and other processing residues which usually stick on the surface of traditional heat exchangers and make it difficult to recover heat. It is still however essential to recover heat as processes such as boilers used for steam generation in meat processing plants and rendering processes involving the conversion of animal by-products into fats and proteins, produce hot exhaust air that is vented straight out into the atmosphere without heat recovery. Furthermore, cookers and ovens used for processing meat products release untapped hot, moist air as well which creates a lot of wasted energy.

 

Thanks to Lepido, wasting energy is no longer an option. Lepido thrives in harsh environments, recovering energy while allowing particles that would normally clog up the system, to simply pass through.

Lepido is resilient against pollutants like grease, moisture and particles and is suitable for diverse hospitality applications as it seamlessly integrates into a Run-Around-Circuit, overcoming the Coanda effect.

Lepido ensures optimal efficiency and is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures. The recovered heat can be used to heat replacement air or returned to the process itself by preheating liquid/air. For example:

Lepido’s innovative design facilitates easy cleaning and no downtime. By recovering and reusing heat, facilities can lower their overall fuel consumption and reduce operating costs.
