Innovative Solar Thermal technology – developed by Brunel University provides a 100% renewable energy solution to KEFRI’s seed-drying requirements.
EnSo is working with Brunel to design, manufacture, and install a prototype drying unit at KEFRI’s Mugugua facility.
The solar-thermal dryer will replace current systems that use unreliable grid power – reducing carbon emissions and ensuring uninterrupted production. Besides the cost-saving of reducing energy consumption, the new system will increase seed-drying capacity as KEFRI aims to increase annual production to meet the growth in demand.
The system is designed to be transportable so that it can be relocated to meet local or seasonal demands.
