24 3.2 Important environment-relevant projects in the 2012–2014 period New filter building for the power plant in Wasserburg Each production location has its own specific climatic conditions; Wasserburg, for instance, lies in the foothills of the Alps. This fact was taken into account when replacing the old two-stage air intake filter of the local power plant with a customised three-stage filter system with highly efficient pocket and cassette filters. This system guarantees low pressure losses in the intake air whatever the weather conditions, thereby significantly improving the performance and efficiency of the system. The gas consumption rate for the system dropped by approxi- mately 500 MWh and the annual CO2 emissions were cut by about 90 tonnes. New filter for Stork spraying tower in Wasserburg The new filter system in the so-called Stork spray tower at the Wasserburg site was commissioned at the end of 2013.The residual dust concentration in the exhaust air from the four cyclones of the spray tower has been reduced to a minimum, thanks to the downstream filter-dust extraction system. Additional energy efficiency has been made possible by the installation of a filter that recovers thermal energy from the exhaust air. Second secondary sedimentation tank in Wasserburg MEGGLE has operated its own sewage treatment plant for treating the waste-water from the dairy in Reitmehring near Wasserburg since 1981. This relieves the strain on the local sewage facilities, and the generated sludge is practically free of germs so that it can be used as a fertiliser. New fully automatic boiler building in Bratislava, Slovakia The new, fully-automatic boiler building has increased efficiency by 11% compared to the old system. It has been possible to completely eradicate any failures in the supply of steam due to malfunctions. New CIP system in Osijek, Croatia The new CIP system (CIP = Clean in Process) cuts the annual water consumption by 33% to 120,000 m3 . The amount of cleaning agents required was also cut by more than 50%. In the newly-installed filling system for 1-litre Tetra-Paks at the site of our subsidiary in Rajo, packaging materials are sterilised by means of electron beams. This completely replaces the conventional method of using harmful hydrogen peroxide (H2 02 ). In addition, this system requires 30% less power than its conventional counterparts. Rajo is the first company in the world to use this technology and, to date, more than 100 million units have been filled using this environmentaly-friendly and energy-efficient system.
