Energy utilization when using ice slush in fish processing
This project is a joint project of Hraðfrystihús Gunnvarar (HG) and Matís. Its aim is to minimize the use of sludge in the processing of fish and thus the energy consumption that comes with producing the sludge. This project is a 6-month preliminary project funded by the AVS Research Fund. The result of this report is the results of experiments with sludge use in the reception of the fish processing plant HG, carried out in October and November 2010. The main results are that it can reduce the operating costs of the sludge machine by 30 - 35% compared to the current sludge production at HG.
This project is a collaboration work between Hradfrystihusið Gunnvor (HG) and Matis. The project objective is to minimize the use of ice slush in fish processing and thereby energy usage which follows from producing the ice slush. The duration of this project is six months and is sponsored by the Icelandic AVS research fund. The project payoff are results from experiments with use of ice slush which was executed in HG accommodation in October and November 2010. The main conclusion from the experiments is that the ice slush production can be minimized up to 30 - 35% compared to the present ice slush production in HG.
