Electrostatic Precipitator Condition Inspection
Client: MSF Sugar
Completed: 2024
Subject Matter Experts + Construction Advisory Management and Supervision
Scope
MSF Sugar requested an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) material redesign due to suspicions of severe internal corrosion.
Challenges
- Client initially proposed unproven material for retrofit.
- Relatively new plant with limited funds budgeted for a redesign/rebuild of the ESP.
- Process operating conditions were not achieved with limited OEM Engineering information available.
- ESP had been exposed to a plant fire leaving the internal material integrity largely unknown.
Outcomes
- Client avoided an unnecessary multi-million-dollar retrofit.
- Issue was downgraded from an immediate structural risk to a manageable maintenance/upgrade task.
- Operating team received clear justification for the chosen approach.
- Internal stakeholders had a common, defensible position to present to the board.
