Abstract
The European Union Framework Programme 7- ENERFISH
project (www.enerfish.eu) aims to demonstrate a new
poly-generation application with renewable energy sources
for the fishery industry in Vietnam. From the energy
viewpoint, the fish processing plant can be made energy
self-sufficient, when the fish waste oil is processed in
a biodiesel processor and further converted to
electricity and heat in a CHP unit. The ENERFISH advanced
CO2 based freezing/cooling system requires optimization
and control system planning of special high-pressure
equipments. The high-efficiency cooling system can be
tuned to be up to 14 % more efficient than conventional
systems. The economical optimization model shows that in
the Vietnamese demonstration case the electricity
production is, due to the low electricity tariff,
uneconomical (except during electricity blackout), even
if cogeneration heat can be utilized. This prompted a
design of the plant (in this particular demontration
case) whereby the necessary heat for the biodiesel
process is taken from the waste heat produced by the
compressors of the CO2 cooling system. According to the
calculations and assumptions presented in this article,
the profitability of biodiesel production from fish
cleaning wastes in Vietnam depends stronly on the market
prices for fish waste and fish oil. Different business
case scenarios are being described.
