Manufacturing Waste Treatment
Description
The client commissioned IPS’s engineering design services to replace an existing in-ground acid waste neutralization system. The existing system required decommissioning and decontamination due to irreparable leaks in the unit.
The new 150 GPM waste system collects waste from manufacturing operations which cannot be routed to other on-site treatment facilities. The project team engaged the primary OEM early in the design effort to coordinate scopes of work, validate design criteria, and ensure procurement was consistent with the required construction schedule. The team identified multiple off-site manufacturing (OSM) opportunities to increase constructability, reduce project cost, and improve safety and quality.
Construction completed on schedule as IPS provided start-up support and assisted the client with commissioning of the controls system.
