Food Industry: Water Heating

Direct Contact Water Heater

Less than 1 year ROI!

A Kansas food processor sees an eleven month ROI using Kemco’s NSF approved 12.5 million BTU Direct Contact Water Heater. This system has the capacity of 250 GPM of water from 55º F to 150º F. The reduction in hot water heating cost is approximately $66,000 a year when compared to a conventional gas-fired boiler operating at 65% efficiency.

A Chicago meat processor using Kemco’s 20 million BTU Direct Contact Water Heater says, “your system supplies 300 GPM at 150º F for plant sanitation, and we run the Kemco unit at maximum capacity. It heats fast enough that we don’t fall behind, it is a very efficient system, and if we had to do it again in the future, we would look at a Kemco unit as opposed to a boiler.”

A food processor in San Antonio replaced a his boiler with a Kemco 5.5 million BTU Direct Contact Water Heater for plant sanitation. “Their (Kemco) system is much more efficient in terms of BTU’s put in vs. BTU’s put out. Our old system had been in place for about eight years, and the Kemco system provided payback within about a year.”

A Colorado meat processor was looking to reduce their water heating costs by 35% - 40%, and a high pressure sanitation system that would reduce water consumption. Kemco’s 9 million BTU Direct Contact Water Heater now runs the complete plant after replacing a 21 million BTU boiler. Kemco’s heater means “a tremendous savings in natural gas costs – not to mention the added savings of reduced chemical costs for the boiler, boiler insurance, maintenance costs, and inspection costs.” This processor also reports that “with the Kemco System the temperature controller is set on the heater, and the water is always within one to two degrees of set point, also, the Kemco system needs very little attention, and frankly, it is the best system for heating water I’ve ever seen.”
