Rubber Cement EPCm (Stirlingshire UK)

Client: Manufacturing Company
Location: North East, UK
Duration: 12 months
Contract Type: Bespoke EPCm contract

This project was to create a new DSEAR and COSHH compliant Cement Making Facility, including new above ground Flammable Storage Tanks and Tanker Offloading Bay. The drivers for this project was legal compliance and improved operations.

Scope

The scope of this project was to build a new Rubber Cement Facility c/w COSHH compliant Mixing Vessels, new Rubber Granulator, all housed within new process Building. Removal of underground solvent storage tanks, and installation of above ground bunded solvent storage tanks c/w associated tanker off-loading bay, pump and level Instrumentation for DSEAR compliance.

All of this equipment had to be installed in the available footprint around existing buildings. With tie-ins to existing services for Power, Low Pressure Steam, Cooling Water, Instrument Air, and Effluent. The project had to built in phases to allow existing manufacturing to continue and minimise outages for tie-ins only. Instrumentation was all Profibus for AutoValves and Analogue Measurement devices, to a new PLC/Control System with Operator Panels. A New Switch-room also had to integrated into the new building.

Equipment

• 2 off 30m3 SS Flammable Solvent Storage Tanks
• Tanker Off-loading Bay c/w Foam Sprinkler System
• Solvent Transfer Pumps
• Granulator for Sheet Rubber into Rubber Flake
• High Shear Mixing Vessels
• New Building and Bunds for Storage Tanks
• Foam Fire Protection System
• Solvent Transfer Piping & Instrumentation
