PROJECT: Compression Polymer Group
LOCATION: Moosic, PA
COMPLETION DATE: N/A
SERVICES: Industrial Plant Systems

OVERVIEW: Engineered an additional 12.47 KV electrical power service line and associated power distribution systems for the manufacturing facility.

The existing facility required an increase in the power system capacity to support production capacity increases. A new high voltage power service was designed consisting of new medium voltage utility service switchgear, medium and low voltage feeders and new unit substations. The existing plant is an around the clock production operation. The design had to take into consideration that a minimum of shutdown opportunities were available to accomplish the project within the time frame available.

PROJECT: Papermachine Air Cap Gas Burner System
LOCATION: N/A
COMPLETION DATE: N/A
SERVICES: Industrial Plant Systems

OVERVIEW: Replacement and upgrade of an antiquated electromechanical control system.

The project involved the replacement and upgrade of an antiquated electromechanical control system with a new state of the art electronic control system on 4 natural gas fired burners for a 600 deg hot air paper drying system on a Yankee Tissue machine. New combustion air blowers were also provided to increase system capacity.

The project consisted of removing the existing burners and replacing them with new low NOX designs. New natural gas control valves, gas train safety switches and limits, theromocouples and single loop PID controllers where provided . The construction of the new systems and equipment had to occur while the papermachine was operational. Close coordination with the customers operations group was essential. The new system was commisioned during a holiday outage and started up successfully without any additional process downtime.
