The Challenge
Reliable cooling and power to ensure 24/7 production continues
CCA Lae are located in remote Papua New Guinea. It means that their production facility relies heavily on the grid. When the grid provides intermittent power, this impacts their business.
With production running at full capacity, 24/7, 365 days a year – there was no room for lulls in supply. But the grid couldn’t sustain the level of power that CCA Lae required – and this hindered the company financially.
The site also had issues with critical cooling equipment during the production process – if the correct temperature couldn’t be maintained then entire batches would be lost.
CCA Lae needed to find a solution that could provide the correct cooling and power – and without any margin for error.
