Our Haverfordwest creamery is successfully processing whey on its new £3 million reverse osmosis equipment which has come on stream after a 10-month installation programme. The creamery commissioned the new plant on time and within budget and the new equipment is now producing a higher quality whey product from the site.
Haverfordwest General Manager, Paul Rowe, commented: “In addition to improving the returns the creamery can command for its whey products, this new equipment also enables us to achieve significant energy savings.
“Between reduced heavy fuel oil usage, effluent treatment and the recovery and re-use of condensate water, we are delivering benefits to the business in the region of £500,000 per annum.”
The investment was part-funded by a grant of £1.2 million from the Welsh Assembly Government.
