VA Black Hills Health Care System

Ft. Meade, SD

Background:

During the VA Black Hills Health Care System visit, ASI’s audit team, with the valued assistance of Campbell-Sevey personnel, identified, analyzed and developed Energy Conservation Measures (ECM’s) for this program. For each ECM, ASI performed detailed field engineering and presented the facility with an Engineering Approval Package (EAP), containing a general arrangement drawing, depicting the plant modifications along with the technical back up. Site personnel subsequently approved and released the individual ECM’s to ASI for implementation, as part of the overall program.

Scope of Work:

Several ECM’s were implemented, through the installation of quality products and services by ASI:

ECM 1 – Boiler Continuous Blowdown

ECM 2 – Deaerator Vent

ECM 3 – LaundryWash Water Recovery

ECM 4 – Steam Traps

ECM 5 – Condensate Pumping Projects

Benefits:

The VA Hospital was able to reduce a significant amount of energy losses by the implementation of water recovery and Condensate Pumping Projects. The ECM’s were implemented on time, and was a complete turnkey solution for the hospital.
