APOLLO AUTOMATIONJAMES WARREN · ENGINEERING & PROJECT LEADERSHIPPRJ-A-010 · Food and beverage manufacturer
Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. Filtration performance depended on the entire cleaning and product-flow cycle. Filter selection, sanitary routing, automatic valves and cleaning effectiveness determined both usable capacity and the operating burden on the plant.

Workstream: Wine Clarification and Vinegar Polishing Modernization
Filtration performance depended on the entire cleaning and product-flow cycle. Filter selection, sanitary routing, automatic valves and cleaning effectiveness determined both usable capacity and the operating burden on the plant.
Compared filtration options against demand and lifecycle requirements, integrated CIP and instrumentation with dedicated electrical feeds, and developed clean-water-flux tracking and maintenance follow-up. Ion-exchange testing extended the investigation into product clarity and quality, while modular expansion planning connected the equipment choice with future operating demand.
Reduced operating expense by $229K per year by eliminating consumables and extending CIP intervals.
CIP and Process Clarification
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.
