Description
In 2018, a leading company in the livestock supply sector together with DTC Soluciones, integrated a distributed generation system with natural gas to optimize its product drying processes, reduce energy costs and strengthen its commitment to sustainability.
Two natural gas generation units with integrated thermal recovery were installed, capable of simultaneously producing electricity and useful heat for the drying process.
