Facility for production of binding agents
Competencies
Project phases

Project description
Total revamp and production enhancement of old facility for production of organic solvent-based binding materials.
Much of the demolition of outdated production equipment and the reconstruction of a new production section needed to take place while the facility continued operating in order to supply the market. This required strict coordination between Process Engineering’s project managers and the client’s production manager and safety organisation.
An essential part of the project was the improvement of the facility’s safety level through introduction of a separate system for separation of fluids and gas emission from safety valves and rupture discs, as well as implementation of inertisation of all solvent tanks where relevant.
The process
Process Engineering’s project manager and specialists worked closely with the client’s production manager, engineering coordinator and safety organisation for 18 months from a project office set up at the client’s premises.
While the project was implemented, we adjusted our project organisation to include two to seven people depending on the need for various competences.
