Custom-designed ammonia-based refrigeration system sets new standards in milk production
Leading the way in dairy farming innovation and ensuring hygiene, safety, and efficiency, this project supports the farm's growth to 5,000 cows focused on A2A2 protein-rich milk.
Project Overview
This strategic project focuses on the development of a large-scale dairy farm aimed at significantly boosting milk production. The farm currently houses 1,250 cows, with plans to import an additional 1,250 cows within the year. The goal is to reach a total of 5,000 cows over the next three years. During this period, daily milk production is expected to rise from 75 to 310 tons. The dairy farm is set to become the largest producer of clean milk, with a focus on producing milk rich in A2A2 protein, known for its numerous health benefits.
Milk Chilling System - Phase One
The refrigeration system installed for phase one of the milk chilling process can handle raw milk with a capacity of 6,000 liters per hour. This system utilizes V-type GEA reciprocating compressors and evaporative condenser, with ammonia as the primary refrigerant and glycol as the secondary coolant. This combination ensures efficient cooling and optimal temperature control. To maintain a hygienic environment, we employed stainless steel buffer tanks, plate heat exchangers, glycol piping, and cladding.
Additionally, the system includes ASME-approved pressure vessels, such as the ammonia receiver and separator, ensuring safety and compliance with industry standards. The setup is equipped with a state-of-the-art PLC system, ensuring operational efficiency and system reliability. Together, these elements guarantee smooth and efficient milk chilling operations, meeting the stringent demands of dairy production.
Phase Two - Future Expansion
Phase two of the project, which will expand the system's capacity to 10,000 liters per hour, is currently under construction and is expected to be commissioned soon. This expansion will further enhance the farm's ability to meet growing production demands while maintaining energy efficiency and product quality.
