THE CHALLENGE
Cooling and sustaining ambient temperature in multiple operational areas of an industrial complex
A Pelletizing Plant and Distribution Centre (OICF) had no cooling equipment at their plant and with no cooling method in any of their operational areas, they were relying on those areas cooling naturally with the factory ambient temperature, during planned or emergency shutdown periods. As this process took two or three days or even up to a week in some areas, it was ultimately keeping them offline longer, resulting in production loss and stopping them realising their full production capacity.
In additional to this, complaints by the operational team had been increasing in the production and operational areas about the temperature rise in plant during shutdowns, especially in summer where working at the facility was unbearable.
This environmentally conscious customer, cares not just about plant productivity and its impact on the surrounding community. They also care about their
workforce within the plant and wanted to mitigate the negative impact the high temperatures were having, while increasing plant productivity.
The customer needed a highly experienced reliable partner who could prove the concept, meet the engineering and technical challenges of their temperature control issues across multiple operational areas and provide a bespoke solution that considered the environment and safety priorities.
