Each phase was planned around the operating requirements of the plant.
Four-phase turnkey scope
Airline chiller upgrade
Upgrade the existing airline chiller with mechanical modifications, refrigeration connections, pipework, valves, insulation, electrical connections and controls to meet the agreed operating capacity and product temperatures.
Blast freezer relocation and upgrade
Isolate, decommission, dismantle and relocate the existing blast freezer. Complete equipment upgrades, reassembly, enclosure modifications, refrigeration pipework, insulation, drainage, electrical connections and controls. Test and commission the relocated installation to the specified freezing duty.
Plantroom upgrade
Upgrade the refrigeration plantroom for the combined requirements of the upgraded and new installations. Modify the agreed compressors, vessels, pumps, headers, pipework, valves, electrical distribution, controls and safety systems, integrating them into the existing refrigeration network.
New spiral freezer
