Covidien, Thermal Oxidizer Design, Saint Louis, MO
Middough provided process, structural, electrical and instrumentation engineering for installation of an emissions control thermal oxidizer system for Covidien, a leading producer of pharmaceutical and medical imaging products.
Middough teamed with Covidien to complete design and support construction, such that EPA compliance requirements were met on schedule. The design was highly complex and included approximately 900 pick-up-points, full redundancy, electrostatic grounding, continuous monitoring and explosion suppression.
Middough has a long standing relationship with Covidien and has provided process, architectural, mechanical, electrical and controls services for more than 50 projects within the last five years.
Major Multi-National Pharmaceutical Company, Florence, SC
Middough has completed a series of chiller replacements for this major multi-national pharmaceutical company. They were designed to optimize the use of energy and reduce the use of halogenated hydrocarbons in plant operations.
The chiller demand profile was determined and alternate designs were studied to best match the system response and efficiency to the various loads.
The final design incorporated multiple parallel chillers with variable frequency drives, controlled by a supervisory controller that follows a user adjustable algorithm to optimize energy usage.
Ammonia was chosen as the refrigerant as it is a natural refrigerant with no impact to the environment. Safety and odor control are assured through the use of multiple refrigerant detectors, an emergency ventilation system and vent scrubber.
