- Routing modification on high voltage electrical network
RK-TEC Solution
The project was divided into 5 phases:
The first and second phases ended and consited in an increasing of wet and drying phase.
The panaromix 3 phase consits in another increasing of wet phase. This phase includes adding new process equipement to mix water and peas (including power supply and instrumentation cables), equipment modification or revamping.
- Study load rating on high voltage network transformer on the site
- Modification on high voltage routing cable
- Works coordination for dismantling electrical equipment
- Detail design for electrical modification on exafine building
- Detail design for the new centrifuge decanter installing
Customer Gain
- Increasing production capacity
