Prima Protein and Fjell Technology Group

State of the art process plant for production of high-quality fishmeal and fish oil

The fishing areas are right outside the door at Prima Protein’s state-of-the-art facility in Egersund harbour. Completed in 2019, this advanced production site features three high-performance TD dryers and a cooker supplied by Fjell Technology Group, enabling an impressive processing capacity of more than 1,000 tonnes raw material per day. An additional expansion of the facility was carried out in 2020 – becoming operational in early 2021. Here, high-quality marine proteins (fishmeal) and marine oils (fish oils) are produced from pelagic raw materials.

Prima Protein is guided by a strict quality and environmental policy. They strive for the highest standards in all areas – health, safety, environment, customer requirements, social responsibility, ethical principles, and employee rights. Every aspect of production adheres to high technical and hygienic standards, and the production process follows the recognized HACCP principles (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). The ultramodern plant is designed for environmentally friendly and sustainable production.

LT fishmeal by Prima Protein is produced with raw materials of the highest quality and processed with a unique two-stage drying process. Fjell Technology Group has delivered key process equipment – including three advanced TD dryers, a Fjell cooker and a gas cleaning system.

At Prima Protein, 100 % of the fish is utilised, maximising yield and minimising waste. Fjell Technology Group has proudly supported Prima Protein in realizing the full potential of the pelagic raw material – contributing to energy efficiency and promoting sustainability.
