In the Kilcoy Pastoral Company project, Evo Energy Technologies expertly integrated three Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units totalling 4000kW, alongside high-efficiency heat pumps and a sophisticated Biological Desulphurisation Treatment system, transforming waste into renewable energy. This innovative approach not only propels KGF towards greater energy self-sufficiency but also significantly advanced its commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible operations.
The Kilcoy Pastoral Company project centered on the installation of three Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units, totaling 4000kW. These units, including two 1.2MW and one 1.5MW, are a testament to Evo Energy's expertise in advanced energy solutions. Alongside these units, the project featured three Evo Command Heat Pumps and a state-of-the-art Biological Desulphurisation Treatment system, effectively converting waste products into renewable energy.
The TS Biological scrubber, an essential part of the biogas treatment plant, has demonstrated its proven effectiveness in this project. The setup also included low and high-pressure biogas delivery blowers, a gas dehumidification system, and 2000L activated carbon tanks. This system efficiently removes a majority of H2S from the biogas, purifying it for use in the power station.
Furthermore, the installation of the Jenbacher 4 series engine, recognised for its quality and performance, along with the EvoHeat Command heat pumps, play a critical role in maintaining optimal temperatures in the Biological Scrubber and aiding in the gas chilling process. This comprehensive and innovative approach not only aligns with Kilcoy Pastoral Company’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact but also sets a new industry benchmark for eco-friendly and energy-efficient technologies.
Most notably, Kilcoy Global Foods’ grainfed beef processing facility, part of the Kilcoy Pastoral Company, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first and only large-scale beef plant in Australia, and potentially the world, to receive certified carbon neutral status. This certification highlights the effectiveness of the implemented technologies in achieving substantial reductions in carbon emissions and sets a precedent for sustainability in the global meat processing industry.
