NOx Scrubber

This NOx Scrubber Project is an Industrial Equipment Installation in Upstate, SC for our specialty chemical manufacturing client.

To support them, we employ up to 40 personnel on-site to create a support network for their capital investments.

The intention of this installation is to support their refinement process to better the plant’s efficiency and production, with regards to environmental impact.

• The NOx Scrubber project involved reworking an existing area to add a new production process for the plant.
• We began by demolishing the old asphalt and concrete, and then placing new concrete slabs, foundations, and containments, which involved water stops.
• The water stops involved splicing multiple types of water stops together to aid in the containment.
• After the new foundations were placed, we then critically lift and set the three large new scrubbers, which included piping to the scrubbers, as well as pumps that required piping. We installed schedule 10 stainless steel piping, CPVC, DurCor PTFE lined corrosion-resistant piping, FRP suction lines, 26” FRP ducting, as well as copper air lines.
• We supervised the millwright and rigging team, NCCCO Certified and led by a master rigger, that set the NOx scrubber machines within a day.
• JDI worked at the same time to install new structural steel around the scrubbers to aid in the access to the scrubbers for the operators, which involved a four-story system with platforms for each level.
• EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) Scrubber Support 20×20 square, three stories tall, which involved removing the scrubber stack; this was a replacement of existing scrubber system that had burned out.
• We came in pre-shutdown to modify and remove the egress platform from around the scrubber, which involved taking out a large portion of structural steel. We also had to remove FRP Scrubber with a large 275-ton crane to access and reinstall a new manufactured housing in place of the old one and placed the structural steel back in place.

• This shutdown project was delivered successfully to support this critical chemical process. The foundation took a month to complete, and mechanical was three months.
• Because of our abilities to deliver this industrial equipment installation for the NOx Scrubbers in a timely and precise manner, the client knows they can count on JDI to complete critical projects on time and not jeopardize production.
