Description

In 2019, DTC, together with a vegetable flour-based products trading company, implemented a natural gas cogeneration solution to efficiently meet its energy needs, especially in the product drying process, a critical stage in its operation.

Two natural gas-fired C65 generation units were installed, configured to operate in cogeneration mode, generating electricity for the plant and recovering waste heat to feed the product drying system.
