Reclaiming excess heat from the ammonia refrigeration system removed the need for any boilers at the plant, saving 2.5 million kWh of energy each year.
The system will be linked to a district energy-sharing system that uses 100% renewable energy and is carbon neutral.
Heat tapped from Maple Leaf Foods’ ammonia system is used to generate boiler make-up water.
