The biomass sector is one of the most interesting for its implications related to energy recovery: Frigofluid supplied an industrial chiller to an international broker, with final installation in Colombia.
The production of biogas is one of the most promising areas in the field of renewable resources: it starts with the transformation of biomass (such as agricultural and animal residues) through a process called ‘anaerobic digestion’. Biogas has a high calorific value, but it must be cooled down to around 5°C for its exploitation: this is where industrial chiller systems come into play, a technology also supplied to Frigofluid’s customer plant operator.
We are talking about a supplier of technology for biogas production and cogeneration that works specifically for the purification and cleaning of the gas: a fundamental phase in making this resource profitable. It is precisely in the biogas pre-treatment phase that the Frigofluid chillers supplied come into play: the biogas must be cooled down to a temperature of around 5°C. Specifically, the company needed to bring the temperature of the fluid used (water and glycol) down to 0°C in order to carry out production processes.
They opted for a RWC 30 ax-LT chiller or liquid chiller, equipped with hermetic internal storage (with the possibility of connecting other plants in parallel): this was due to the plant’s space management requirements. The ‘LT’ version allows the very low temperatures required for the process.
The final installation of the chiller supplied to the plant engineer took place in a production plant in Colombia.

Low outlet fluid temperatures (water or water and glycol, down to -8°C) characterize RW ax LT liquid chillers: air condensation ensures that they use are electrical energy, and not water, for their operation: a resource that is then optimized by the electronically controlled “brushless” type axial fans. Up to +40°C ambient temperature allowed in standard execution.
A further use of chillers/chillers is in biogas plants: a gas mixture, derived from organic substances and highly energetic and ‘green’. The role of the chiller is to cool the biogas before it enters the cogeneration engine. Reliability and safety are the pluses that chillers must guarantee.
There is Frigofluid's signature on the refrigeration of Almag's production processes: an opportunity to strengthen relations with a large company in the Brescia area, recognized worldwide. Two industrial chillers and a dry cooler were supplied to the company.

Frigofluid supplied a chiller with built-in free-cooling to a Veneto-based plastic moulding company as part of the expansion of its production system (addition of new presses). The consultancy covered not only the technical solution, but its incorporation into the plant's entire heating and air-conditioning system.
