The large abattoirs in Dubai are using solar energy
for heating water. The Al Ghusais abattoir in Dubai has already started using
water heated by solar energy. This heated water is used to clean the
slaughtering halls and equipment. This new process of using solar panels for
heating water will lower the time period for operation of the steam boilers.
This in turn will lower the operating costs.
The Dubai
Municipality eventually plans to extend this system in
other slaughterhouses in Dubai. It has already fitted 210 solar panels that
have the power enough to heat 70,000 liters of water daily, at 80 degrees. The
new system will reduce the periods of operation of steam boilers, which will,
in turn, reduce operating expenses.
Hot water at around 65 degrees is used for cleaning
the halls and slaughtering equipment. Steam heaters are used to produce steam in
order to heat the cold water stored in the thermal exchange unit. The boilers
burn diesel fuel and chemicals that are needed to monitor the required level of
limits within the accepted limits.
Solar
panels are now being installed and a complete thermal
exchange system will connect it to water heating system in the abattoirs.
Al Shammari stated that the section is confident about
the success and benefits of this project. This project will lower the
consumption of diesel, electricity to stove and operate boilers and water
consumption and chemicals for boiler water treatment. It will also reduce the
cost of boiler maintenance and lower toxic emissions released by burning of
diesel fuel.
