Olivieri Carni has chosen Cefla as its partner to streamline its production processes, including from an energy perspective, minimising consumption and CO₂ emissions.
Strengths
Customised energy solution
Cefla has built a turnkey trigeneration plant for Olivieri Carni, integrating the production of electricity, heat and cooling to optimise the factory's production processes.
Advanced energy efficiency
The adoption of heat recovery systems from exhaust gases and engine cooling water allows for significant energy savings and a reduction in CO₂ emissions.
Integration into an active production site
The system was installed without interrupting production, requiring careful planning and targeted interventions.

Background
Cefla designed and built a customised solution capable of generating significant energy savings.
Challenges
- Integration into an active production site
The system was installed without interrupting production, requiring careful planning and targeted interventions. - Adaptation to specific heating and cooling requirements
The system was designed to provide heating and cooling energy in a flexible manner, adapting to variations in process loads. - Tight deadlines
Complete the work within a limited time frame, minimising the impact on building activities.
Project Tasks
Cefla handled all phases of the project, from design to commissioning, carrying out:
- Installation of a 1 MW methane gas-fired internal combustion engine coupled to an alternator for electricity generation.
- Heat recovery from exhaust gases and engine cooling water for the production of thermal energy.
- Use of an absorber for the production of cooling energy for the meat processing plants.
Implementation
The project was completed in November 2017, on schedule and within budget. The plant has enabled Olivieri Carni to improve the energy efficiency of its factory, reduce CO₂ emissions and optimise production processes thanks to a flexible and reliable energy supply.
