Why the Work Mattered

Purpose and Operating Need

Increased available steam capacity by about 25 percent and stabilized jacket pressure to improve line uptime.

Engineering Approach

Engineering Approach

Engineering scope: Bottling & Packaging Systems, Steam & Boiler Systems.

Outcome & Engineering Context

Outcome and Context

Increased available steam capacity by about 25% and stabilized jacket pressure. The business case projects approximately $15k/month in rental avoidance. A 10-15% annual fuel-reduction figure remains a reported reference; the separate approximately 0.5 MMBtu/hour fuel-savings value comes from a thermal model.

  • Project Ownership

    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.

Project ownership and delivery context

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 boiler-room equipment, electrical and controls interfaces with steam-manifold and pressure-reduction improvements. Condensate recovery, control checkout and operating readiness were part of the same system scope. The work increased available steam capacity by about 25 percent and stabilized jacket pressure.
