Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer Replacement

JBW's services included site visits and coordination, mechanical engineering and design, structural and civil engineering and design, and electrical engineering and design. They conducted a site visit to gather critical information and verify the current installation, coordinated with the RTO vendor to define support equipment requirements, and held bi-weekly design review meetings with plant operations and the project manager to review progress and gather feedback.

Mechanical engineering and design services involved specifying and routing new stainless steel ductwork between the existing WESP and the new RTO, between the new RTO and the new ID fan, and between the new ID fan and the existing RTO stack. They also planned the demolition of RTO equipment and ducts, specified and designed natural gas piping from the existing gas meter to the new RTO, and specified and routed compressed air from the existing plant supply to the new RTO.

Structural and civil engineering and design services included planning site excavation and drainage for the new RTO area, designing foundations for the new RTO, ID fan, duct support structures, and material storage slab, and designing the duct support structure. They also planned the demolition of the RTO foundation and material storage slab.

Electrical engineering and design services involved specifying and sizing power and cables for the new RTO and ID fan, designing cable trays and underground conduits, evaluating the existing Press Line MCC capacity and specifying required changes, and planning electrical demolition.

JBW conducted a walkdown to obtain photos and measurements, using point cloud information provided by the client as the basis for Revit design drawings. Design information from the RTO vendor was used to evaluate the required new foundations and design the electrical power supplies and new ductwork.
