Advantages of the HPP Protein Plant Process
The HPP Protein Plant utilizes significantly less energy than existing traditional methods, in addition to being ecologically friendly in other ways. The traceability of its properties is significantly easier because the procedure is a lot simpler.

All the other benefits
Other benefits, like overall investment cost, product quality, and environmental impact, are harder to evaluate. Consideration should be given to the type and size of plant facilities, extra systems (ventilation, boiler, and resources), and installation.
The quality of fishmeal and fish oil depends on the freshness and type of raw materials, but also on the processing plant flow. To ensure consistent product quality, smooth and gentle mechanical handling is required throughout transport, pumping, and heating.
These are some of the key attributes of the HPP Protein Plant process.
A complex process reinvented
When comparing the new HPP Protein Plant process to conventional fish meal production, it is important to keep in mind how the conventional process has developed over the years.
The goal of the old approach was to separate the oil from the water, but over time, operators began to look for ways to salvage the remaining particles from the residual liquid. The most practical, and therefore most common, method of extracting the remaining solids was to run the liquid through an evaporator in one or more evaporating steps. Concentrated liquid would then be pumped into the meal dryer. This is where the HPP Protein Plant stands out from other plants.
HPP Protein Plant does not have a liquid side, instead opting for two-stage drying. This streamlines the process, lowers costs, and ensures constant high-quality results.
Using the HPP Protein Plant vs. using the Old Method
To demonstrate the advantages of our Protein Plant over the conventional technique, we’ve put up the tables below, which include measurements from both processes that are totally comparable. All of those graphs indicate how the HPP decreases operational costs, energy use, personnel requirements, floor area, and cooling water use in a direct and significant way.
HPP’s two-stage drying reduces the number of main components, process tanks, and control parameters, lowering maintenance costs.
