Upgrade to our selenium enriched yeast - (Alkosel R397) plant in Felixstowe #sustainability
We are thrilled to announce significant investments in the infrastructure at our Felixstowe yeast plant, one of our main sites for producing our premium selenium-enriched yeast, ALKOSEL. These investments are part of our commitment to sustainability and ensuring the highest quality products for our customers. As a result of the upgrades, we’ve experienced the following benefits: · Electricity usage has reduced by nearly 40% due to new drying technology · Energy consumption in fermentation has decreased by 30% thanks to new blowers · Our combined heat and power system now supplies 100% of plant electricity, 25% of steam, and 10% of hot water requirements The plant also has plans to install an anaerobic digester on-site next year which will reduce gas consumption by up to 50%. Our feed additive product manager, Mark McFarland, says: “We are incredibly proud of our Felixstowe team's efforts and their dedication to producing the highest quality products while achieving positive environmental impacts.” Find out more in the July/August edition of Feed Compounder Magazine.
