The Assignment

The Flaming Furnace singes residual hair and stubble from dehaired carcasses of pigs and/or sows. Since the energy crisis and awareness of our ecological footprint, there is more demand from the market and within Marel to reduce energy consumption and ecological footprint. The current flaming furnace consumes a large amount of natural gas, propane gas, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The assignment is split into two parts: Advise in alternative gasses besides the above-mentioned gasses and develop a prototype flaming furnace with 50% less gas consumption.

    • Create an advice report on how to proceed in the future for Marel.
    • Create a proposal for a feasibility model.
  2. Develop a prototype flaming furnace with at least 50% less gas consumption.
