Clean Cooling Water Project

The Clean Cooling Water project was installed to segregate dirty water from the main plant heat exchangers while providing a dedicated closed-loop clean water system to remove heat from the process units.  The installed heat exchangers and ancillary equipment are used to transfer heat from the new clean water system to the existing dirty water system.  The newly installed system represents significant maintenance cost savings for equipment associated with the plant cooling system.

ICI was contracted to perform structural erection, mechanical process piping furnish and supply, and major equipment setting.  The project details are as follows.

• Erect 550 tons of structural steel
• 27,000 ft² of insulated metal wall panels
• 26,000 ft² of roof panels, insulation, and Simple Saver vapor barrier
• Furnish and install 160 feet of industrial ridge vent
• Furnish and install of wall louvers, roll up doors, and walk doors
• Furnish and install process piping including:
• 1500 feet of 60”
• 140 feet of 48”
• 150 feet of 36”  
• 900 feet of 24”
• Small bore utility piping
• Installation of specialty valves
• 8 – 48” triple offset butterfly valves
• 8 – 36” triple offset butterfly valves
• 110 – 24” triple offset butterfly valves
• Equipment setting including:
