Example Design Projects
Wastewater Treatment
ChemE Consulting conducted treatability studies for a secondary metals fabricator to propose best-fit treatment solutions for ammonia, fluoride and neutralization issues with wastewater treatment. For this project, ChemE developed the NPDES permit modification, developed the engineering design package and supported owner’s project manager.
Chlor-Alkali Plants
ChemE Consulting personnel directed regulatory permitting, design, construction and startup for a chlorine plant in Longview, WA. Project economics and feasibility studies have been developed for several technology conversions and plant expansions. Outage support is provided to chlorine plants for repair or upgrade of processes and equipment.
HCl Distribution
ChemE Consulting assisted a chemical distributor in addition of an HCl distribution product line, including designs for storage tanks, automated dilution and drum/tote loading, project costs and economics.
Caustic / Acid Tanks
ChemE Consulting assisted a dairy extraction process by identifying hazardous material fire code compliance and review with fire and building departments. We also provided designs and specifications caustic and acid storage and distribution equipment.
Scrubber/Wastewater Treatment
ChemE Consulting developed process designs for specialized glass manufacturing process including stripping ammonia from wastewater and re-absorption using sulfuric acid in an absorption column to produce ammonia sulfate.
Anti-Freeze Recycling
ChemE Consulting personnel designed and installed a two-stage distillation process for ethylene glycol recover. A process for ammonia removal with cation exchange was demonstrated for anti-freeze purification.
Emulsified Oil-Water Separation
ChemE Consulting personnel designed and installed process equipment for separation and commercial recovery of oil with chemical treatment and distillation processes with wastewater treatment.
Desulfurization
ChemE Consulting supported a private inventor by developing process design P&IDs and equipment specifications for a proprietary diesel desulfurization process.
