APOLLO AUTOMATIONJAMES WARREN · ENGINEERING & PROJECT LEADERSHIPCASE-094 · Engineering case
Coordinated instrumentation, valves, controls panels, chemical feed, and separator systems into the cooling retrofit.
The cooling retrofit depended on field feedback and controls coordination, not only tower and piping replacement.
Specified and coordinated flowmeters, RTDs, pressure sensors, acetator 14/18 valve controls, chemical-feed ports, three 1-inch valve tees per supply loop, water-treatment separators, purge-valve/logic requirements, Master HMI, Fermenter MCP with three VFDs, Acetator MCP with two VFDs and Remote I/O, Ethernet and electrical interfaces, and generator/ATS support within the retrofit.
Coordinated cooling-loop control, visibility, and maintainability within a retrofit.

Cooling and Utility Reliability Modernization
Recorded workstream portfolio reference. This is the workstream-level value and is not a project expenditure or a new total of reassigned projects.
Coordinated loop visibility, flow control, chemical-treatment consistency, and purge reliability within the cooling retrofit.
Coordinated cooling control and instrumentation within the retrofit, with scope including flowmeters, RTDs, pressure sensors, three coordinated control panels, five total VFDs, Remote I/O, chemical-feed ports, Water-treatment separators, and fail-safe purge valves, by coordinating field instrumentation, panels, valve control, chemical feed, and purge automation.
Master HMI panel; Fermenter MCP with 3 VFDs; Acetator MCP with 2 VFDs + Remote I/O; flowmeters; RTDs; pressure sensors; 3 x 1-inch valve tees per loop; 20EOZD support.
Food and Beverage Manufacturer
Owned the full project lifecycle, from capital planning through commissioning and post-startup support. Cooling-water reliability involved heat removal, water treatment, controls and the discharge path.
