APOLLO AUTOMATIONJAMES WARREN · ENGINEERING & PROJECT LEADERSHIPCASE-133 · Engineering case
Coordinated the dedicated ventilated control-room construction to isolate electrical panels from high-grain vinegar VOC exposure.
The project balanced asset protection against operational tradeoffs because the enclosure reduced drumming capacity and triggered evaluation of future barrel-filling relocation and automation.
Construction scope included baseline construction requirement, two-week primary completion schedule, concrete curb, CMU block room, sealed penetrations, man door/overhead door framing, LED lighting, floor-mounted guard rail, 115V exhaust fan with gravity backdraft damper, NEMA 2 motorized louver with TFB120 actuator, new breaker, conduit, wiring, and interlocked fan/louver control.
Reduced electrical-component VOC exposure and improved control-room protection.

Full lifecycle project ownership
Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.
The review identified power-distribution cabinets exposed to the corrosive vinegar-production environment, with heavy visible oxidation and reported equipment ages of 35–95 years. It recommended a ventilated or cooled enclosure around the existing electrical service to separate that equipment from the process environment.
Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.
Coordinated block construction, concrete curbing, sealed penetrations, doors, lighting and guard rails with exhaust ventilation and motorized-louver interlocks. The integrated scope reduced electrical-component exposure to vapors while connecting civil, mechanical, electrical and controls requirements.
