Assessment of citrus-processing energy-efficiency improvement. Volume 1. Final report

Technical Report · Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:6465984

The cirtus industry was surveyed in order to assess the impact of two programs toward the goal of implementing energy conserving options and the development of new technologies. Six technologies were identified that have recently been implemented in the citrus industry, and a case history is summarized for each. Advanced technologies have been identified that could be applied in citrus processing plants and that would result in significant energy and operating cost savings. The industry sources indicated a need to prove these concepts in a research and development project such as a pilot plant before they will be implemented. (LEW)
