The client enterprise is a Ukrainian meat processing company with a full production cycle, including raw material cultivation, processing, and finished product manufacturing. The company specializes in producing a wide range of meat products: cooked, smoked, and dry-cured sausages, frankfurters, delicacies, and products made from meat and lard.

A key feature of the enterprise is its closed production cycle, which includes:
• cultivation of agricultural crops
• fattening of pigs and cattle
• raw material processing
• finished product manufacturing
• sales through partner networks

This approach allows the company to fully control product quality at all stages and comply with international food safety standards.

The enterprise actively implements modern technologies and focuses on:
• energy efficiency
• environmental responsibility
• minimization of production waste
• development of zero-waste technological processes

The company was founded in 2017 as a modern stage of business development that began in the early 2000s with a small production workshop. Today, the enterprise represents the agro-industrial and food sector, where stable energy supply and efficient resource use are critically important for continuous technological processes.

Note: For security reasons and due to ongoing attacks on Ukraine’s energy and industrial infrastructure by Russia, the name of the client enterprise will be disclosed after the situation stabilizes.

Task

The client faced the following key objectives:
• increasing energy independence
• ensuring an independent energy supply source
• reducing electricity and heat costs
• utilization of organic production waste
• implementation of environmentally safe technologies

An additional important requirement was the possibility of future scaling of the energy center.

Result

At the beginning of 2025, a contract was signed with KTS Engineering for the supply of the first Jenbacher J320 gas engine cogeneration unit with an electrical capacity of 1,067 kW and thermal capacity of 1,231 kW. A containerized solution was selected, enabling fast deployment and integration into the enterprise’s energy center. Fuel type — biogas.

In 2025, the equipment was delivered, after which KTS Engineering specialists carried out commissioning and put the unit into operation. Additionally, the engineering team implemented island-mode operation of the Jenbacher power plant in parallel with the grid without power export. The project demonstrates the effectiveness of biogas cogeneration solutions for food industry enterprises with continuous production cycles.

This approach simultaneously solves energy supply, waste utilization, and business resilience challenges under unstable energy infrastructure conditions.
