- First Milk’s Haverfordwest Creamery is on track to deliver carbon and cash savings to its business following the installation of new whey processing equipment earlier this year.
- As well as producing a higher quality whey product, significant energy savings have been achieved at the West Wales plant as a result of the installation of reverse osmosis equipment. This has allowed one of the two evaporation plants to be decommissioned, cutting steam use and heavy oil requirements as well as trimming costs be £500,000 per year.
- The same equipment makes it possible to recover waste water, too, cutting mains water intake by two-thirds and reducing effluent discharge
