A chemical company which manufactures industrial inorganic chemicals planned to construct a new Brine Treatment Plant to double their manufacturing capacity at their Delaware City, DE, plant. This chemical manufacturer planned to modify their existing salt handling and brine production area with the addition of a weir installation and other modifications to the brine saturator pit. Additional areas within the plant construction included: pre-coat and body feed systems, filter press operations, brine guard filters installation, filtered brine tank, BIE processing skid with columns, pure brine storage tank and a recycle process water tank. All new equipment was housed in an approximately 6,500SF prefabricated metal building built on a concrete slab with depressed areas to accommodate the process demands.
TAI provided the engineering and design work needed for the plant construction project including the site civil engineering, permitting application and expediting, process piping design, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and automation & controls engineering all based on a design/build approach. In addition, TAI provided minor architectural and structural support.
A summary of the base scope of work included in this project are as follows:
- Purchase Specifications and Equipment/Vendor submittal reviews for the process equipment and instrumentation.
- Site Civil, Process, Mechanical, Electrical and Controls engineering and design to prepare “Issued For Permit & Construction” drawings for the Brine Treatment Plant Scope of work.
- Engineering Project Management to expedite and coordinate the development of permit and construction documents.
- Project scheduling and permit expediting work to accelerate the project schedule.
