BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Distillery Heat Exchange System Minimizes Energy Use And Increases Sustainability

Hamilton, Bermuda, March 31, 2015 /3BL Media/ — The BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® Distillery at Laverstoke Mill not only distills gin, it also harvests energy. The facility captured the world's attention at its opening in mid-September as the number one premium gin brand unveiled how it re-captures energy with its state-of-the-art heat exchange system. The distillery is designed to operate with the greatest operational efficiencies to reduce energy use as it recycles residual heat which is a by-product from the unique "Vapour Infusion" technique used since 1836.

It takes a lot of heat to make premium gin the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® way with the historical Dakin stills. Knowing this, the Laverstoke Mill redevelopment plan offered brand owner Bacardi an opportunity to reevaluate operations and come up with new, more sustainable ideas that could carry the iconic brand through the next centuries. The Laverstoke Mill retrofit included many energy-saving additions such as the new heat exchange system, which required a considerable amount of upfront investment for the brand. The Company is proud of the pioneering heat exchange techniques that provide measurable environmental and commercial benefits to the distillery.
