5.2.2 Malting plants
The specific heat consumption increased slightly to 2771.3 MJ per tonne malt. This
increase was primarily due to the acquisition of a new but less efficient malting plant
in Bulgaria. Conversely since 1997 the consumption of electricity has gradually been
reduced by 6.7 percent to the current level of 112.9 kWh per tonne malt. The savings
were made possible by investments in the installations and by good housekeeping.
