Fermenter Cooling Loop Upgrade

Engineered dual 400 GPM loops serving fermenters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 14, and 18 using an 8,000-gallon cold-water tank, 20 HP VFD pump, 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC loop, modulating bypass valves, pressure sensor feedback, and chemical dosing ports.

• 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.
