Sofame Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce that Butterball, LLC, the largest producer of turkey products in the United States, has ordered a Sofame Hybrid Percomtherm unit for its Mount Olive plant in North Carolina.  

The equipment, which operates at 96% efficiency, combines condensing recovery of waste heat from existing boilers with a new direct contact condensing burner to heat water.


"As the leading U.S. turkey producer, Butterball believes it has an obligation to be a good steward of the environment, and is pursuing many innovative environmental initiatives surrounding resource conservation, pollution prevention and upgrades to environmental sustainability." said Steve Valesko, Vice President of Engineering for Butterball, LLC. "Butterball is using advanced environmental technology to collect real-time, enterprise-wide data, measure actual performance and recommend new solutions to reduce energy and water use, as well as carbon emissions.  The Sofame project touches all three of these areas," added Valesko.


According to John Gocek, Sofame's President & CEO, "Sofame is excited to offer its energy and cost saving solutions to Butterball. This important project will recycle energy to heat process water.  It is a perfect example of how Sofame's systems achieve cost savings, lower energy consumption and contribute to carbon footprint reduction."
