OPS Engineering & Project Support Services

OPS have also undertaken many design packages for clients who either want to spread the cost and commitment of buying a plant or just want to do the maximum due diligence before committing to the project. Projects of this type include a fixed site multi waste facility in Birmingham and most recently for a Wet Waste Treatment facility in Norway.

The engineering office in Bedfordshire can produce a full design package including:

– P&ID

– PFD

– GA

– Loading Diagram

– Electrical Schedules

– Equipment Schedules

– Energy Calculations

– Operating Manuals

At the heart of what OPS do is work to benefit the natural environment and often this has positive implications for the profitability and over plant efficiency of the plant.

Often wastes we deal with aren’t extremely hazardous but they do need to be recycled according to the legislation in place. Rather than a sledge hammer to crush a nut OPS will review a process and make recommendations to improve efficiencies. In particular we look at:

• Easy and safe maintenance access
• Zero ’90-degree’ elbows on pipes transporting sand and water
• Zero ’90-degree’ elbows at the outlet of pumps
• Recirculation pump controlled by flowmeters and a pressure sensor to reduce energy consumption
• Accurate control of sludge flowrate to ensure smooth and efficient centrifuge operation
• To strive to be water neutral by capturing, treating and reusing all the water which comes into a site
• Correct pipe velocities- Correct solids content when transporting in water
• Minimum air entrained to minimise anti-foam consumption

The above improvements will give your operators a safer and easier to operate plant; Energy and chemical costs will be reduced; the plant longevity will be greatly increased; overall operating efficiency will increase.
