Log receiving & elevator modifications (safety improvements and increased operator efficiency from handling 1 truck to 5 trucks

CSME Certified by TUV Nord

HAZOP Leader Qualified

Various Projects undertaken to bring plant to be complaint with current Health and Safety Legislation.

Conducted several projects reducing the electrical load by up to 40% while maintaining or improving production rates.

Efficiency Gains of 8% to a 520kW fan system, with a spend of only $15k – payback was less than 4 months.

Multiple fan / ducting and compressed air projects completed with less than 2 year payback.

Plant layout, both green field sites and brown field new process systems incorporation

PID Loop and Process Design

Thermal Oil Heat Transfer System Design.  Analysis and implementation of projects that reduced the need to change Thermal Oil and maintained heat transfer properties, resulting in savings of over $400k

Devises solutions to Engineering issues, minor through to complex, using appropriate technology 

Audit of major industrial complex for Lighting Improvement projects.  Changes from High Pressure Sodium (orange light) to LED.  Resulted in an improved workplace, while providing a reduction in power load and maintenance requirements.

Compressed air energy audits completed resulted in completing a change from three 55kW compressors to one 55kW plus a 90kW VSD.  Further analysis showed the type of compressor selected for the duty allowed for extended life cycle before needing overhauls.

Design for Electrical Power Generation, accepted by EECA for $100,000 emerging technology grant.
