Dow Chemical
Freeport, TX
Scope of Work:
Armstrong Service designed, engineered, and installed a complete condensate return solution to correct the persistent water hammer problem the site encountered. Plant engineering, as well as site contract engineering, had been trying to solve the continuous water hammer problem for years.
Upgrade Projects:
- Engineered and installed (4) separate condensate pumping stations
- Engineered and installed (2) separate flash tank stations
- Engineered and installed re-runs of multiple condensate lines
- Insulated all condensate lines
- Recommended, replaced, and properly sized steam traps
- Engineered and installed air vents on all heat exchangers
Contract:
The value of the project was $850,000.
Time of Service:
Project was completed in January, 2003
Benefits:
The water hammer problem was corrected. Dow enjoyed energy savings from the project as well as faster heat-up times in the heat exchangers. Additional, sections of the plant will now receive the same review and effort.
