Tetra Pak’s UHT 2.0 cuts water & heat for less carbon emissions

All-time practice line for UHT with Tetra Pak'south Onestep engineering science Prototype Tetra Pak

New Delhi, India, 1 June 2021, Tetra Pak is showcasing its new UHT 2.0 heating portfolio and Tetra Pak E3/Speed Hyper packaging equipment on World Milk 24-hour interval. Information technology is to highlight this year'southward theme of sustainability and the dairy industry'southward commitment to innovation in reducing its ecology footprint.

The new UHT two.0 portfolio with OneStep engineering and Tetra Pak'southward E3/Speed Hyper reduce water and steam consumption, creating less wastewater and thereby lowering the cost of its removal for dairy manufacturers. Adding a water filtering station unit to the Tetra Pak E3/Speed Hyper helps recover five,500 liters of water per filling auto running hour (up to 95%), while contributing to lower h2o consumption.

With water scarcity on the rise, wastewater is increasingly condign a pressing industry concern. Up to a fifth of Tetra Pak'south customers are based in high or extremely high-risk water areas and the company is prioritising activeness to address this.

The combination of UHT ii.0 with OneStep technology and Tetra Pak E3/Speed Hyper scores well across industry benchmarks for sustainability, with a 0.8 GHG Index score, a 0.3 Water Index score and a Product Losses Alphabetize score of 0.seven ¹ . When compared to a conventional line solution^two this optimal integrated solution reduces GHG emissions by xx%, water usage by seventy% and product losses by xxx%.

Alejandro Cabal, vice president Packaging Solutions, Tetra Pak, said, "As part of Tetra Pak'southward wider ambition to reach net zero emissions across the value concatenation by 2050, we want to be part of the solution to limit climate alter for the global dairy sector. To attain this, accelerating the development of our low carbon circular packaging and equipment portfolio and working to assist customers realise their emission reduction targets is a priority. A significant share of emissions comes from the functioning of equipment at customers' sites. Addressing this through innovation and collaboration is vital."

Upgrades to Tetra Pak'southward UHT 2.0 portfolio will raise automation possibilities and performance, with the offer claimed to represent the strongest⁵ in the manufacture. The new UHT 2.0 portfolio combined with OneStep engineering cuts processing steps out of the product line without affecting end-production quality.

Tetra Pak E3/Speed Hyper is the world's fastest aseptic carton filling machine, producing upwards to xl,000 portion packs per hour, using eBeam⁶ sterilisation technology to consummate the chore more than efficiently and more than chop-chop than has previously been possible. This reduces the ecology touch and makes water recycling easier. It couples depression-price high-speed production with significant environmental advantages. While its increased capacity tin can reduce manufacturers' operational costs by upward to 10%⁷, it also represents a low carbon alternative to aseptic PET equipment – since electricity consumption and carbon footprint are both 5 times lower than for hygienic PET lines⁸.

The declaration follows Tetra Pak'southward 2022 pledge to not only attain net nothing emissions in its own operations by 2030, but to also realise a net zero emissions ambition across the value chain by 2050. The company has planned a step-change in investment levels in sustainable innovation, committing at least €100 million annually over the adjacent 5-x years. This will help the company realise its goal of offer processing and packaging solutions with a minimal carbon footprint.

1. The combination of UHT 2.0'southward OneStep applied science with Tetra Pak E3/Speed Hyper has a 0.8 GHG Index score, a 0.3 Water Index score and a Product Losses Index score of 0.vii. A GHG Index is the ratio of the CO2 equivalent on the free energy consumption of UHT ii.0's heating with OneStep applied science processing and packaging line with the CO2 equivalent on the energy consumption of a conventional indirect heating line.
   The UHT2.0 heating line consists of processing equipment including raw milk storage tank, Tetra Pak Indirect UHT unit D, Homogeniser, Deaerator, Separator Hot Milk, Foam Libation, Aseptic Tank VD and packaging equipment such as Tetra Pak E3 Speed Hyper with capacity of twoscore.000 packs/h connected with Tetra Pak Water Filtering Station unit and downstream equipment for producing TBA 200 Slim Foliage. The conventional indirect heating line includes an additional Tetra Pak ^® Pasteurizer D to UHT two.0 heating processing lines and Tetra Pak A3 Speed with capacity of 24.000 packs/h without Tetra Pak Water Filtering Station.
   The energy consumption is referring to electricity, heating and cooling free energy for producing unit of UTH milk of the defined processing and packaging lines. World boilerplate of GHG emission cistron is applied. This calculation is done by using Tetra Pak Processing Solution and Equipment Global TCO (Full Price of Ownership) tool, Version i.iii. In the similar way, Water and Production Losses Indexes are calculated.
2. Benchmark is based on a conventional indirect heating UHT milk processing line with a packaging line that doesn't use eBeam technology.
3. Applying a Tetra Pak Water Filtering Station removes lubrication, residues from packaging material, hydrogen peroxide (if using a conventional packaging line) and cleans h2o before circulating it back into the system. The result on h2o efficiency is reductions in water usage by up to 95%, which reduces the h2o index of the optimal solution past more than one-half (from 0.6 to 0.3).
4. Verification and assurance are essential. To that end, Tetra Pak's practices, processes and performance are verified externally to World-Class Manufacturing standards, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody and Quality Balls Direction certification. The company's greenhouse gas emissions data is externally audited.
5. According to Tetra Pak, benchmarking exercises completed for client projects take demonstrated that Tetra Pak can deliver the best overall performance.
6. eBeam is a technology that has been developed past Tetra Pak in collaboration with its partner COMET. The eBeam technology sterilises packaging material using electron beams and replaces the traditional hydrogen peroxide sterilisation process for packaging material while guaranteeing the same sterilisation functioning.

8. Compared to aseptic PET lines using hydrogen peroxide sterilisation.

Equally you join united states today from India and elsewhere, nosotros have a favour to ask. Through these times of ambiguity and challenge, the packaging manufacture in India and in most parts of the world has been fortunate. We are now read in more than ninety countries as our coverage widens and increases in impact. Our traffic as per analytics more than doubled in 2022 and many readers chose to support u.s. financially even when advertising brutal to pieces.

As nosotros come out of the pandemic in the adjacent few months, we hope to again expand our geography and evolve our loftier-affect reporting and authoritative and technical information, with some of the best correspondents in the industry. If there were ever a time to back up united states, information technology is now. Yous can power Packaging South asia's balanced industry journalism and help to sustain us past subscribing.
