]]> Our team added 24,000 gallons of blending capacity for soaps and similar products within an existing facility, in addition to adding to its filling/packaging capacity. The project team had to fit new batch and surge tanks within the space constraints of the existing compounding facility, while ensuring that the needs of Operations and Maintenance were met. Additionally, our design had to be versatile enough to accommodate a variety of products and container sizes.

We worked alongside the client to develop an understanding of the technical requirements, including the information needed for raw materials and product recipes. We also worked with conveyor and equipment manufacturers to install, relocate, and modify production lines to meet the needs of the client.

Project scope included:

  • Four new 6,000 gallon blend tanks
  • Four new 6,000 gallon surge tanks
  • Two new pre-mix tanks (350 gallon and 500 gallon)
  • Two new 10,000 gallon FRP surfactant tanks
  • New mezzanine for two blend and two surge tanks
  • Modified mezzanine for two blend tanks
  • New sanitary valves, transfer pumps, instrumentation, and VFDs
  • New/relocated packaging equipment, including a bottle unscrambler, filler, cap torquer, labeler, case erector, drop packer, and case sealer
  • New conveyor for packaging line
  • Relocation of a packaging line from another facility – modified layout

]]> This project transformed a warehouse into a new thin liquids production facility. The scope included six sets of blend/surge/pre-mix tanks, a DI/RO water system, a water tempering system, a CIP system, an automated batching/filling system, surfactant storage and distribution, and two high speed filling/packaging lines. The project started in August 2020, was commissioned in April 2021, and resulted in a blending capacity of 45,000 gallons.

Our C&I team was challenged to complete front end and detailed design engineering for this immense project in only six months. The dedication and flexibility shown by team members has strengthened our relationship with the client by delivering a blended 3D model quickly and efficiently, providing extensive coordination and communication for the client and construction contractors, and working long hours to achieve results within the timeline provided.
