Alongside this is the importance sustainable energy use. To deliver a secure supply of chicory root fibre, while also keeping sustainability top of mind, BENEO\u2019s capacity increase is accompanied by steps that allow it to reduce specific energy consumption by 35%.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img class='avia_image' src='https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/Beneo-Pemuco-refinery-scaled-e1671179554710.jpg' alt='' title='Beneo-Pemuco refinery' height=\"750\" width=\"1000\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>At its Pemuco plant in Chile, BENEO conducted an analysis of the whole production process to identify areas where energy efficiency could be improved. Based on these findings, it has upgraded its existing processing equipment and invested in new technology, such as new evaporation systems, which not only reduces the energy required, but also ensures energy is used efficiently. This investment allows for improved process continuation, as it means equipment can be cleaned without interruption of the overall process, which in turn results in further energy savings.<\/p>\n<p>Guillermo Fernandez, head of manufacturing at BENEO in Chile comments: \u201cAt BENEO, ensuring reliable and consistent delivery to our customers goes hand in hand with taking steps towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly production processes. This also means that for every investment the highest level of energy efficiency is applied. The reduction of specific energy consumption at our chicory root fibre plant in Pemuco is an important milestone for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Globally, consumer interest in prebiotics continues to grow and has already seen an increase from 51% in 2018 to 61% in 2022. To cater for this rising demand, BENEO will open a new refinery line in Pemuco, Chile, by the end of 2022, leading to a 15% increase of its total chicory root fibres capacity. This will be followed by an additional 15% increase due to be completed next spring.<\/p>\n<p>Chicory root fibres (inulin and oligofructose) are the only plant-based prebiotics. BENEO\u2019s prebiotic fibres \u2018Orafti\u2019 inulin and oligofructose are natural, non-GMO and clean label, and can be used in a wide range of food and drink applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-minimal '><div class='av-share-box'><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this<\/h5><ul class='av-share-box-list noLightbox'><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/beneo-reduces-specific-energy-consumption-while-increasing-production-capacity-of-chicory-root-fibres\/&#038;t=BENEO%20reduces%20specific%20energy%20consumption%20while%20increasing%20production%20capacity%20of%20chicory%20root%20fibres' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=BENEO%20reduces%20specific%20energy%20consumption%20while%20increasing%20production%20capacity%20of%20chicory%20root%20fibres&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/?p=10991' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f1' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Twitter' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/beneo-reduces-specific-energy-consumption-while-increasing-production-capacity-of-chicory-root-fibres\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=BENEO%20reduces%20specific%20energy%20consumption%20while%20increasing%20production%20capacity%20of%20chicory%20root%20fibres&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/beneo-reduces-specific-energy-consumption-while-increasing-production-capacity-of-chicory-root-fibres\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=BENEO%20reduces%20specific%20energy%20consumption%20while%20increasing%20production%20capacity%20of%20chicory%20root%20fibres&#038;body=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/beneo-reduces-specific-energy-consumption-while-increasing-production-capacity-of-chicory-root-fibres\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px;
