Centrifuge Filtration
Owned the full project lifecycle, from capital planning through commissioning and post-startup support. Suspended solids in wine stocks affected acetation and final filtration.
APOLLO AUTOMATIONJAMES WARREN · ENGINEERING & PROJECT LEADERSHIPCASE-046 · Engineering case
Applied upstream solids removal to stabilize acetation and improve final filtration at the facility.

Eliminated acetation stalls and increased final filtration speeds by removing suspended solids from wine stocks prior to acetation.
Engineering scope: centrifuge filtration, upstream solids removal for acetation stability, backup DE and bentonite filtration, cleaning and consumables risk management.
The recorded project eliminated acetation stalls and increased final filtration speeds. The effects belong to this centrifuge and upstream-solids-removal boundary.

Centrifuge Filtration
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.
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 centrifuge filtration with backup filtration, cleaning and consumables requirements. The work addressed solids ahead of acetation, eliminating acetation stalls and increasing final filtration speeds while retaining a practical operating arrangement for the plant.
