Project Abstract

Glanbia Meats Roscrea plant specialises in pig processing providing premier pork and bacon products for the Irish and international markets. The overall aim of the project is to reduce energy and water resource consumption in the Roscrea plant. This energy reduction strategy will involve installation of a monitoring and targeting system providing real time data training production management staff in the use of the system and allocating staff responsibility and targets to utilise the information provided in decision making. A reduction of 5% in electricity and 14% in water per unit of production is anticipated. Based upon 2002 budget production figures this would equate to a reduction in electricity usage of 370500 kWh and 32000m3 of water in a year.
