Energy Efficient Technologies and Innovations

• 2009 Obolon developed a long-term energy saving programme

The programme consists of:

• energy saving measures
• energy utility projects for the main brewery

The corporation's energy efficiency programme includes lower energy consumption measures, namely:

• organizational
• analytical
• production and technical.

Since 2009, the corporation enterprises have implemented the following energy efficient projects:

1. Reconstruction of brewing plants Nos. 2 and 3 by installing Ziemann energy saving equipment.
2. Construction of a station for iron extraction from condensate.
3. Installation of two low-pressure compressors in the malting pressure shop and in the malting shop.
4. Reconstruction of the heat supply and condensate disposal system of the brewer's grain drying section.
5. Reconstruction of the CCS (cooling and compressor shop) heating system using the secondary heat produced by the helical compressors.
6. Reconstruction of the back water supply system in the CCS building.
7. Waste water recycling for malting at the malting plant in Chemerivtsi.

"Now, saving and efficient use of energy resources is the only way to survive during the energy crisis. Obolon was among the first to implement energy efficient measures and has so far achieved considerable success. Thus, in 2013, the corporation reduced its gas consumption by 12% and water consumption by 15%, and saved 11% of electricity".

Obolon's leading energy manager

• 2014 In July, Obolon was the first food company among the three companies that received a certificate of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine included in the State Register of Companies Engaged in Development and Use of Energy Saving and Energy Efficient Projects. This will enable the corporation to ensure a two-fold reduction of taxes on the income gained from taking energy efficient measures.

Water Recycling

СО₂ Processing

Obolon processes carbon acid (СО₂ gas) released in the process of beer fermenting from gas fraction into liquid with its further use for production purposes.
