Companies like ATIS Énergie that specialize in energy productivity can bring significant value to companies in the meat production and processing sector, offering custom solutions to improve energy efficiency at every stage of production. Here’s how:

1. Complete energy assessment

Energy audit: We carry out a detailed audit of your facilities to identify areas where energy is being wasted and recommend corrective measures. This audit covers all processes, from slaughtering to refrigeration and packaging.

Heat flow analysis: We examine heat flows in facilities, particularly in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, to optimize efficiency and reduce heat loss.

2. Optimizing refrigeration and dehumidification systems

Improving cooling systems: Refrigeration accounts for a significant proportion of energy consumption in the meat processing industry. We propose solutions to improve cooling system efficiency, cut energy costs, reduce washing times, control air humidity and extend the life of equipment.

Heat recovery: We implement heat recovery systems from refrigeration units and reuse this energy in other processes, like water or space heating.

3. Automation and smart energy management

Energy management systems (EMS): We install energy management systems that monitor energy consumption in real time, automate energy-intensive processes and optimize production schedules to boost efficiency.

Ventilation control: We integrate intelligent systems to manage ventilation based on your unique needs, thus reducing energy consumption without compromising the quality of your products or the comfort and wellbeing of your employees.

4. Transition to renewable energies

Installing renewable energy sources: We advise on and install solar panels, wind turbines or other green technologies to supply part of the energy needed for operations, reducing dependency on fossil fuels.

5. Optimizing thermal processes

Streamlining cooking processes: Cooking and processing meat requires significant amounts of thermal energy. We optimize these processes to reduce energy consumption without compromising product quality.

Thermal insulation: We improve building and equipment insulation to minimize heat loss and therefore reduce the energy needed to maintain temperatures.

6. Support in obtaining grants and financing

Identifying subsidies: We help companies identify and access available subsidies or tax credits for energy efficiency projects, which can significantly reduce investment costs.

Financial planning: We recommend financial models to fit your unique needs and goals, such as energy performance financing (ESCO), where energy savings cover the costs of improvements made.

7. Employee training and education

Training programs: We offer training programs as part of our effort to raise employee awareness around energy efficiency best practices, encouraging all team members to adopt eco-responsible habits.

Rallying teams: We help foster a corporate culture focused on energy efficiency, helping companies adopt new technologies faster and optimize their practices.

By collaborating with us, companies in the meat production and processing sector can reduce their operational costs while improving their environmental performance, thereby meeting growing consumer demand for more sustainable practices.
