Jungbunzlauer has commissioned a second Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) evaporator at its production site in Port Colborne, Canada, further expanding the use of energy-efficient technologies across its operations.
The new unit complements the existing MVR system and represents another important step in the company’s efforts to improve resource efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By recovering and reusing process heat, MVR technology significantly lowers energy consumption while supporting more sustainable production processes.
The expanded MVR capacity is expected to deliver substantial environmental benefits. The Port Colborne system is projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 8,000 tonnes this year, with annual savings increasing to around 12,000 tonnes from next year onwards. These reductions contribute to Jungbunzlauer’s broader decarbonisation strategy and commitment to lowering the environmental footprint of its manufacturing operations.
Investments in technologies such as MVR not only support climate objectives but also strengthen the resilience and efficiency of production processes. By continuously optimising energy use and embracing innovative solutions, Jungbunzlauer aims to deliver value for customers while contributing to a more sustainable future.
The installation of the second MVR evaporator demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable manufacturing and developing naturally better ingredients through responsible and efficient production practices.
