  • Piping and E&I detailing
  • Double-effect evaporation, Effect 2 A/B

The main challenge

The double effect needed transfer and recirculation pumps under the equipment, and steam lines had to run much longer distances.

That meant more supports in places not prepared for those loads. The electrical room, where the ducts would pass, was not strong enough for the new load, so structural ties were created and anchored to the existing columns. New supports over 15 m high were also designed, with special bases for the long span.

Key success indicators

Equipment installed successfully
Structural solution to wrap and reinforce the electrical room judged satisfactory

Engecell's challenges

Installing the equipment far from the other effects
Installing large steam ducts
