Projects

We use the latest version of AutoDesk AutoCAD to design and build systems (AutoCAD Plant3D and AutoCAD Electrical). Every project starts as a PID on a sketch pad, which evolves to a P&I Diagram in AutoCAD, then to 3Ds and Panel design in AutoCAD Electrical.
We build the skid structure, the piping and supports, ladders, railings, etc.
We build the electrical control panels including PLCs, operator interfaces (touch-screen, windows PCs, or remote control), motor controls, circuit protection, conduit, junction boxes, switches. Electrical work is typically done to Class 1, Division II Group D standards or better as the job requires.
Our staff is multilingual with a high proficiency in Spanish, and some proficiency in French and Arabic.

Texas, USA

Nuevo Leon, Mexico

Flash Tank Condenser Skid. This skid-mounted system is used to process 5000 liters per hour of waste motor oils. The system uses flash distillation to remove up to 20% water as well as the lightest fraction of the petroleum hydrocarbons (naphtha, gasoline,etc). The system features redundant reboilers to minimize maintenance-related downtime. These two skids join up with a third skid which houses the flash tank. The flash tank skid was built by the client to reduce capital costs. Once again, a “turn-key” system of design, fabrication, assembly, computer control was supplied.

Yauco, Puerto Rico

Miami Florida, USA

This trailer-mounted system in Miami, Florida is designed to separate approximately 7000 kg/day of brown grease for biodiesel feedstock from the Fats Oils, and Greases (F.O.G.) pit of the Miami Wastewater Treatment Facility. This separation produces biodiesel feedstock, and it reduces the chemical and energy load of the treatment process. All the equipment fits onto a single flatbed trailer, including the PLC/HMI-controlled electrical panel.

Baltimore, USA

This pipe-in-pipe exchanger was made of all stainless steel wetted parts. The shell side fluid is simply coolant from a generator, and the fluid in the pipe is an aqueous waste product that needs heating prior to processing. The waste heat recovery from this system surpassed everyone’s expectations – the 300 gpm flow of the aqueous waste is heated almost 30 degrees Fahrenheit in a mere 40 feet of travel. These exchangers were built and shipped in fewer than 14 days!

Altiras

Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA

Drill Mud Recycling Pilot Plant.
 Pilot plant was built to investigate the scale-up of lab-scale technology to separate water, oil, and sediment found in drill mud. The system was “continuous/batch” meaning we ran it until the sediment buildup needed to be unloaded. The system was only run a few times before it was shut down by the client for commercial/political reasons, but we did see very clear drill oil, very clear water, and a thick sludge full of sediment.
