Case Studies - Field ServiceThe manager of the world-renowned particle accelerator facility had a problem.How do you fit a 30-foot heat exchanger into a 20-foot room?The physical size of the heat exchangers used to super-cool the particle accelerator had become insufficient for the process. More advanced heat exchangers were commercially available, yet they simply could not fit into the facility.Now he was faced with a difficult decision: should he build a new facility for the super-cooling process engine? Or, was there a better installation alternative? Integrated Consultants was asked to analyze the problem. After our analysis, the most viable and cost-effective alternative topped the list: we proposed adjustments which allowed the current facility to house the larger commercially-available heat exchanger. Then, we supervised the installation process, which involved removing and then reattaching the top of the building, to permit the huge device to be lowered into place. Integrated Consultants first identified and resolved immediate mechanical and control issues, and worked with our staff to recognize operating nuances so as to maintain consistent quality. Then, over the next several months, they designed and fabricated our next generation vulcanizer, incorporating innovative structural adjustments that were not previously available. The new machine has been reliable and is operator-and maintenance-friendly. Through these and other projects, Integrated has offered technical and hands-on experience that permeated our shop operations. / MECTROL CORPORATION The facility's problem was solved at a fraction of the cost they anticipated.Case Studies - Field Service | Chemical Processing | Materials Processing | Regulation Applications | Forensic Engineering | Project Slide Show |
