Description
• Determine upgrades for recently acquired nut processing
facility
• Purchased electricity expensive, site generation (steam) a
priority
• Identified upgrades and established priority list (cost,
return, timing)
• Steam, chiller, process controls, electric power
distribution, site water discharge
• Selected steam/condensate
Scope of Work
• Retube existing boiler (after options analysis)
• Improve boiler combustion air flow and instrumentation
• Upgrade condensate return system
• Significantly reduce water discharges from ES precipitator
Challenges
• Schedule - nut processing is seasonal
• No site engineering. No qualified local
Keys to Success
• Value engineering
• Integrated project team cooperation
• Project execution plan
