إمكانية الاستفادة من المجمعات الشمسية في العمليات الحرارية لمصنع المكلا لتعليب الأسماك (الغويزي)‎-حضرموت-اليمن

Abstract EN

The experimental studies which we carried out in Algwasi Fish Canning Factory in Hadramout Governorate indicates that there is a possibility of solar energy investment for generating thermal energy to satisfy a fraction of energy requirement, necessary to middle and big industrial establishments, by the utilization of solar reflection concentrators instead of generating energy by the use of fossil fuel combustion.

The results confirm the possibility of using a considerable percentage of thermal solar energy, for fish industrial sector, added to the thermal energy already obtained from fossil fuel combustion, since all technical temperature levels obtained from fossil fuel combustion in most Yemen factories, including the factory under study, operate on the temperature of 50 – 198 0C We concluded that the average range of the operating temperature of thermal solar reflection concentrators, locally made, operate within the range of 182-216oC.

Consequently, there is an excessive reserve of technical thermal energy equal to about 30% more than the factory required need of energy.

What mentioned above confirms the possibility of investing thermal solar energy in fish industry, economization of fossil fuel consumption, lengthening oil storage age and protecting environment pollution in Yemen.
