Line 2 Pasteurizer Upgrades

Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. Pasteurization depends on the relationship between flow, holding time and temperature. The work addressed that relationship across the hot-water system, instrumentation and automation so that product treatment and line operation could be managed together.

The Operating Context

Operating Context

Pasteurization depends on the relationship between flow, holding time and temperature. The work addressed that relationship across the hot-water system, instrumentation and automation so that product treatment and line operation could be managed together.

Reviewed hold-tube length, process flow and thermal-control requirements, translated those requirements into the upgrade scope, and coordinated production, quality and utility interfaces. The delivery approach connected the design basis with controls verification and operating readiness.
