ConAgra Foods

Irapuato, Guanajuato Mexico

Scope of Work:

This ConAgra food processing facility was undergoing a plant expansion requiring an investment in the condensate return system. Armstrong developed a plan to provide all necessary condensate recovery equipment without requiring a capital payment from ConAgra. The condensate recovery packaged systems were paid by ConAgra based on the measured monthly savings from fuel, water, and chemical treatment. At the end of the agreement, ConAgra will own the equipment.

Upgrade Projects:

  • Engineered and installed (3) separate packaged condensate pumping systems with cycle counters.

Time of Installation:

Began in October 2003.

Benefits:

  • The annual cash savings equates to a simple return on investment (ROI) of 56%
  • ConAgra can now focus its capital resources on its core business
  • Clean and hot condensate returning to the boiler house
  • Reinforce a “green” facility image by avoiding an increase of combustion emissions and high water consumption
