Combined Heat and Power System Helps Frito-Lay Plant Get off the Grid

DOE ITP E-Bulletin (9/3) – The Frito-Lay plant in Killingly, Connecticut, installed a combined heat and power (CHP) system in March 2009…Funding from the state of Connecticut helped support the installation of the CHP system…The CHP system is designed to meet 100% of the plant’s power needs and can provide more than 80% of the plant’s current maximum steam needs. To maximize the system, the Killingly plant will utilize the generated waste heat to produce steam to help in the manufacturing process.
