A custom-built steam generator skid now positioned on site, and will be tied into the steam plant and glycol ring main over the next two weeks. The steam generator HX will heat a secondary glycol ring main (Coolflow DTX) serving three Air Handling Units. The system will deliver tempered fresh air to production areas for precise temperature control during winter months.

The second phase integrates two packaged Vahterus heat exchanger skids designed to recover waste heat from both the high-side discharge line and the compressor glycol oil cooling circuit from one of our client's industrial pumped ammonia plants. Once fully implemented, the steam generator skid will transition to a backup role, operating exclusively during periods of zero site production.

Further progress on one of our current installation projects.

The AHUs have now been positioned, and our team will begin tieing in the pipework and valve stations.

During a planned plant shutdown, the prefabricated double block and bleed valves for the steam and condensate lines were pressure tested, tied in and NDT tested.

Our coded welders have now commenced installation of the steam and condensate pipework, with the steam generator skid scheduled to be positioned and tied in within the next two weeks.

Great progress from the team as the installation continues to take shape.

It’s Great to see the first plant items being lifted into position on one of our major industrial cooling and heating projects.

This is a substantial system designed and built by the team at Seward Refrigeration, combining large-scale industrial cooling with a bespoke heat pump capable of delivering an impressive 4.3 MW of heating at +88°C.

Projects of this scale take a huge amount of expertise, planning and teamwork to bring from design through to installation, so it’s great to see everything starting to come together on site.

A brilliant effort from everyone involved so far — and plenty more progress to come!
