Case Frigorífico | COONTROL

Constant black smoke, high biomass consumption, and unstable steam generation.

It wasn't just a technical challenge. The slaughterhouse had daily pressure for results that weren't coming and a growing cost that threatened the budget.

In addition, there was the constant frustration of not being able to solve the problem with the available resources.

With this scenario, one of the country's largest slaughterhouses saw its biomass boiler operation become a bottleneck—inefficient, expensive, and polluting.

The technical team felt it firsthand:

  • Pressure from management for visible improvements and cost reduction;
  • Difficulty identifying the cause of the problem;
  • Insecurity to make decisions, afraid of investing incorrectly;
  • The stress of seeing the problem repeat itself, even after correction attempts.

They knew it was time for a change. But how to do it safely, without paralyzing the operation, and without relying on luck?

It was at this moment that they contacted COONTROL.

THE CHALLENGE

The company faced a recurring challenge in the industrial sector: inefficiencies in the combustion process, biomass waste, and difficulty in maintaining boiler stability.

This is a more common scenario than it seems—even among large-scale operations with modern equipment and experienced teams.

Our team went to the field, got to know the entire boiler operation routine up close, and mapped the main points for improvement in the steam generation process.

With over a decade of experience in combustion efficiency, we quickly identified how the right technology, applied correctly, would transform this scenario.

THE SCENARIO BEFORE THE SOLUTION

The COONTROL team went into the field with a consultative approach. In the first technical contact, the main problems were identified:

  • Air/fuel ratio was not ideal;
  • Energy efficiency was below expectations (80.82%);
  • High and visible pollutant emissions;
  • Critical failure in the multi-cyclone filter.

The filter problem alone prevented the boiler from operating at full capacity, limiting it to 25 ton/h, although the nominal capacity was 30 ton/h.

A solução?

The solution?

The team applied technologies and adjustments focused on control and efficiency:

  • COONTROL equipment;
  • Startup and parameterization with specialists;
  • Adjustments to reduce excess air and generated ashes.

In addition, the COONTROL team made adjustments to the boiler's automation and a complete fine-tuning of the control loop, ensuring stability and safety.

Investment payback

  • Monthly biomass consumption: 4.875 tons;
  • Cost of biomass: R$ 315.00/ton;
  • Total investment: R$ 519,320.00;
  • Payback: ~7.4 months.

The system practically pays for itself with the savings generated month by month.

Energy and environmental impacts

Based on previous diagnoses and the results achieved, it was possible to clearly identify the impacts mitigated by the project:

Coontrol
Description Energy impact Environmental impact
Multi-cyclone filter Low High (particulate emission)
Unbalanced air/fuel ratio High (efficiency) High (CO2 and dark smoke)
Excess air High (thermal loss) Moderate
