Abattoirs tap solar energy to cut costs and save fuel

Gulf News reported that the Dubai Municipality has started using solar energy to heat water in the large abattoirs in the emirate.


Mr Ali Taher Al Hammadi head of abattoir operations said that "We have started using the solar system in the Al Ghusais abattoir for heating water which we use to clean slaughtering halls and equipment. We would eventually like to extend it to other slaughterhouses."


The Municipality has so far installed 210 solar panels that can heat 70,000 liters of water at 80 degrees daily. The new system will reduce the periods of operation of steam boilers which will in turn reduce operating expenses.


Mr Ahmad Hassan Al Shammari head of abattoirs section, Public Health Services said that the section has been using hot water at 65 degrees to clean the slaughtering halls, tools and equipment. The water is heated using steam heaters to produce steam to heat the cold water in the thermal exchange unit. These boilers are powered by burning diesel fuel and chemicals needed to maintain the required levels of the elements within permissible limits. The section is now installing solar panels and a complete thermal exchange system and will connect it with the water heater system in abattoirs.


Mr Al Shammari said that the section is confident about the benefits that can be achieved by this project. It reduces the consumption of diesel fuel, electricity to stove and run boilers, water consumption and chemicals for boiler water treatment save the cost of boiler maintenance and reduces toxic emissions by burning diesel.
