Pacific Coast Producers Refrigeration Optimization & Process Equipment Insulation

Project Innovation

The purpose of this Agreement is to install and operate an efficient refrigeration system and to incorporate ceramic insulation on all existing process rotary cookers at the Recipient's food processing facilities. The optimized refrigeration system will replace three existing Freon refrigeration systems with a new ammonia refrigeration system to reduce electricity consumption, refrigeration leakage, greenhouse gas emissions, and operation costs at the Recipient's food processing facility on Oroville. Also, this project will apply ceramic insulation on all existing process rotary cookers to reduce heat loss and natural gas consumption at the Recipient's food processing facilities in Woodland, Oroville, and Lodi.
