SUSTAINABLE GROWTH According to Andrade , for new technologies and update of modern equipment , PITTA ’ s investments are around R $ 7 million per year . “ Our main focus is the reduction of cost and return on invested capital . We are currently working on a project to increase the generation of energy , for example .” With a current capacity to generate around 26 MWH , and with the new initiative in practice , it is expected that the total generation will double in value .
The new project consists of the use of condensation turbines , evaporative condensers , and electrification of mills , which provide better energy efficiency for the whole system , lower steam consumption per MW
