Roasting Air Blower Retrofitting: Involved in design, equipment selection and installation of 640 kW inverter-duty motor, associated cabling, ABB motor control center with variable frequency drive, and dedicated 13.2 kV/660 VAC transformer.

Increase Capacity of Existing Utility Air Compressor: Design involved study on plant utility air consumption on normal and surge modes (24 hour operation, 7 days a week) resulting in additional capacity of 2200 cfm at 150 psig. Once CAPEX is approved, detailed engineering including equipment selection is implemented. Engineering evaluation included a determination of available capacity from the existing substation. Major equipment for the project includes Ingersoll-Rand L-type compressor; ABB 150 kW, 480 VAC, TEFC motor; ABB full voltage starter; and direct - burial cable. Involvement includes purchasing, supervision, construction and final commissioning.
