Abstract

The dairy industry is one of the major energy consuming sectors in India. The various processes in dairy industry include pasteurization, cream separation, homogenization, chilling of milk and packaging of milk and value-added products. Currently, the thermal and electrical demand required for various dairy processes is satisfied by conventional fuels like furnace oil, coal, natural gas and electricity. The total electricity consumption is about 53% of total demand, whereas the rest of demand is satisfied by natural gas, furnace oil, coal which accounts for 22 to 25% respectively. These all non-conventional resources are going to deplete in next 3 to 4 decades, so there is a need to switch the use of conventional resources for process heating and cooling to non-conventional. Further as far as the conventional thermal process is concerned, there is a loss of nutritional values milk and its value-added products to some extent. Therefore, the proper utilization of renewable energy shou...
