Site visit to Kilcoy Global Foods

Kilcoy Global Foods is passionate about reducing its reliance on non-renewable resources. As a large user of electricity, Kilcoy Global Foods has recently invested in cogeneration and a biogas treatment plant. Running in sequence with the Covered Anaerobic Lagoons, the clean Biogas is used as fuel to run three cogeneration units, totalling 4,000kW. These gas engines convert the Biogas into electricity for running the plant, and hot water for use within the plant. The results of the project are 3-fold; to reduce electricity drawn from the grid; to reduce the steam load on the boiler, thus reduce coal; and to reduce operating costs. Ultimately lessening Kilcoy Global Food’s impact on the environment and expected to offset 80% of grid electricity, and 100% of their hot water generation with a renewable resource.
