Vom Verfahrenstechnik-Unternehmen Briggs of Burton haben wir eine Information darüber erhalten, dass man gemeinsam mit der Speyside-Brennerei Glenallachie einen beim Scottish Industry Energy Transfer Fund (SIETF) beantragten Zuschuss zur Installation energiesparender Technologie nach Prüfung ebendort erhalten hat und nun die Bauarbeiten beginnen wird. Die Energieersparnis ist so groß, dass man damit jährlich 145 Häuser mit Strom versorgen könnte.

GLENALLACHIE DISTILLERY CELEBRATE MAJOR GRANT WITH SUPPORT FROM BRIGGS OF BURTON
Process engineers, Briggs of Burton, who specialise in sustainable distilling technologies, are celebrating helping Speyside-based GlenAllachie Distillery to win a major government grant to install the latest energy saving technology.
Briggs of Burton will install sector leading mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) technology as part of the project. The energy-saving technology enables distillers to reduce energy usage at the distillery by 2000 megawatt hours, enough to power approximately 145 houses.
Briggs of Burton have assisted distillers across Scotland in implementing advanced distilling technologies to capture and recycle heat that would otherwise go to waste. Briggs of Burton have also introduced Energy Store systems and Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVR) – another type of heat recovery technology that lowers the energy required to produce distilled spirit – in new and existing still houses which has reduced the total energy consumption at one distillery alone by over 40% to date.
Briggs of Burton will be working on the design and supply of the MVR system with GlenAllachie distillery throughout 2024.
The grant was approved by the Scottish Industry Energy Transfer Fund (SIETF) and follows the feasibility study grant awarded by the same body.
