Parmalat

New boiler room for a dairy processing plant – Parmalat

Victoriaville’s Parmalat/Lactalis industrial complex hired the expert team at LogiVAP^® to upgrade its steam production facilities for milk processing.

LogiVAP^® distinguished itself by implementing a simple, efficient thermal solution in a complex hydraulic environment. Decentralizing steam production required new high-pressure steam lines to be installed outside. The new facilities’ integration had no impact on production. In addition, load management for the new boiler room takes into account the potential for increased production over the next 20 years.

Goals to be met

Design and supervise the creation of a new decentralized and efficient steam boiler room in less than 16 months.

Tasks performed

• Preliminary draft design
• Budget evaluation
• Technical design
• Specifications
• Purchasing support
• Detail and execution engineering
• Technical support for the project management team
• Technical support for the monitoring team
• Financial support management

Systems put in place

• Steam and condensate production and distribution system for solar wall combustion-air preheating processes. Steam capacity: 3600 BHP @ 115 psig – η92%

Challenges to be met

• Complete the project in under 16 months
• Decentralize steam production in an industrial complex without causing production shutdowns
• Design an external steam system with a limited number of condensate drain points
• Facilitate daily maintenance activities

Positive impacts of our solution

• On-budget completion of the project
• Industrial quality of the installations
• Outstanding system-performance monitoring
