Challenge 8. “Improving drying efficiency”
LIVERCO is seeking to improve the efficiency of its forage drying process, which currently relies on biomass-fired ovens.
The goal is to optimize drying performance by exploring various avenues: automation and advanced control of the kilns, digital process modeling, the incorporation of new drying technologies, and other innovative solutions. These improvements would result in significant cost savings and greater energy efficiency.
Expected benefits
Improving drying efficiency will enable LIVERCO to make an impact in several key areas:
Cost savings: Reduced operating costs through a more efficient and optimized drying process.
Energy efficiency: Optimizing biomass consumption and improving the thermal efficiency of the drying process.
Operational control: Enhanced monitoring and adjustment capabilities for drying parameters, whether through automation, digital modeling, or other technologies.
