Process Cooling Optimization
Changed a single-step cooling process using chilled process water to a two-stage process using ambient temperature process water in stage 1 (to make hot water) and glycol in stage 2. Modified control algorithm for control of new process, adding the ability to adjust the stage 1 performance based on maximum efficiency or hot water volume requirements.
Portfolio wide LED Retrofit
Retrofitted all NA facilities interior and exterior lighting to LED while upgrading to sanitary fixtures for improved food safety in manufacturing areas.
VFD Retrofit & NH3 Controls
Retrofitted trim NH3 refrigeration compressor and condenser fans to VFD, then upgraded system controls to allow optimized sequencing, floating head pressure control, auto start/stop sequencing.
Boiler & NH3 System Upgrades
Retrofitted burner and boiler controls to improve efficiency. Replaced NH3 controls with new AB PLC, and implemented floating head pressure control, suction pressure reset, auto sequencing, and auto start/stop scheduling
New Boiler Plant
Executed Design/Build of (2) new direct contact hot water boilers, with condensing stack economizers. Eliminated the use of steam boilers that were near end of life.
Air Compressor Cooling Upgrade
Replaced open-loop cooling towers for two centrifugal and two screw air compressors with a closed-loop glycol cooling loop integrated into an alternative and existing cooling system with available capacity. Project avoided significant capital renewal costs through cross system integration and eliminated maintenance cost with open loop cooling.
Compressed Air Controls
Installed additional compressed air storage to reduce the impact of demand spikes and installed a new PLC master control system to optimize the operation of all the compressed air equipment.
Energy Assessment
Developed a multi-year capital investment strategy to achieve a 5% energy savings for the site. Identified over 20 cost saving projects and prioritized them by year to achieve glide slope performance to meet corporate goals.
Process Chiller Plant Renewal
Redesigned & replaced 30+ year old constant speed chillers, with a new highly efficient, variable speed chiller and with a conversion to a variable primary chilled water distribution design.
Rolling Mill Spray Fume Exhaust Fan VSD’s
Installed variable speed drives on the rolling mill spray hood exhaust fans to reduce fan speed whenever metal is not being rolled, which was over 40% of the roll processing time.
Energy Assessment
Developed a multi-year capital investment strategy to achieve a 5% energy savings for the site. Identified and developed 20 cost saving projects and prioritized them by year to achieve glide slope performance over 3 years.
