Design & Engineering of Industrial Ventilation Systems
Overview. Study and engineering of an industrial exhaust system to address steam overload issues in a steel forming workshop (Caster). Objective: improve operational efficiency, equipment integrity, and safety, ensuring a smooth transition from basic to detailed engineering.
Scope of Work.
- Point Cloud: scanning recommendations to capture existing conditions.
- Process: P&ID mark-up based on process/piping design.
- Mechanical: 3D (non-intelligent) model for placement of major equipment, duct routing, and GA generation.
- Civil & Structure: structural analysis of existing setup (member sizing for new loads), foundation design for support towers, fans, and stacks, preliminary fabrication package, preparation of MTOs.
- Electrical & Instrumentation: requirements for new equipment (e.g., I.D. fans), load list, single-line diagrams (SLD), instrument & I/O lists.
- Cost Estimation: detailed estimate based on layouts and engineering specifications.
Key Deliverables. GA and layout drawings, duct and support routing, structural & foundation analyses, MTO, SLD & load list, instrument & I/O lists, cost estimation dossier.
Tools & Software. STAAD.Pro, SolidWorks, AutoCAD Plant 3D.
Results & Impact. Implementation of an optimized steam extraction system, enhancing performance and safety of the forming process while integrating into existing facilities.
