ENGINEERING

Conceptual engineering is the road map for a successful project. It is the first step to start a project, establish parameters and define how we achieve the goal.

Your Request · Build a facility to manufacture. · We want to make this product. · Specification and quality required. · These are the raw materials we have. · This will be the location of the plant. · We want to transport by truck and rail. · We have energy resources and fuel. · When we want to start manufacturing.

Your Question · What equipment do we need ? · How much space is required ? · What is the budget for this project ? · What are alternative solutions ? · What are the environmental concerns ? · What is a realistic time frame ?

Our Answer

Ø We confirm your goal and develop a plan.

Ø We prepare a process flow chart.

Ø We develop a time table. (Gantt Chart)

Ø We make a list of equipment for the project.

Ø We evaluate the environmental impact and propose solutions.

Ø We estimate the energy requirement and other resources.

Ø We develop a facility layout based on available space.

Ø We prepare a budget for the project.

	Wood Fired Combustion Systems Steam Boilers, High Pressure Hot Water and Themo-Oil Boilers
	Ø When manufacturing wood products, wood residues are frequently available. Materials such as sawdust, bark and other by-products can generate cost effective and environmental friendly energy. Ø DPM has developed combustion systems for a variety of wood fuels to generate steam, high pressure hot water, thermo oil and hot gas for direct and indirect fired drying applications. Ø DPM developed a complete line of equipment from fuel handling to exhaust emission control.				Ø Our pressure vessel design features modular water tube boilers. This design was developed to allow manufacturing in local shops with basic tools. Ø The approach is cost effective, the pre-fabricated pressure vessel parts can easily be transported and installed without special equipment. `

Dryer for Wood Fuel Wood Fiber Dryer for Pellet Production

Ø Hog fuel and green sawdust often contain more than 50% water, and clean combustion with low emissions are difficult to achieve. Pre-drying the fuel with the exhaust gas will make the fuel suitable for efficient combustion.

Ø DPM developed rotary dryers for hog fuel pre-drying and exhaust gas treatment equipment to meet environmental standards.

Ø DPM developed rotary dryers for fuel drying and dryers for product drying such as pellet production and other applications.

Ø Fuel dryers are designed to pre-dry wood fuel for combustion and are heated with the exhaust gas from the boiler, reducing the flue gas temperature to less than 100 degree Celsius. Thus, significantly increasing the boiler efficiency and allow for stable combusting while minimizing emissions.

Ø Product driers are designed to reduce the moisture to a specific moisture content as required for the process. The energy to heat the dryer can be generated with a gas fired burner. The alternative is to generate the energy with wood fuel in a combustion chamber and generate gas near 900 degree Celsius. The gas must then be tempered to a suitable dryer inlet temperature. The tempering is done with a combination of fresh air and re-circulated gas.

System Control Strategy Plant Startup and Tuning
Ø Understanding the overall process id a prerequisite for the development the selection of hardware and to write the outline for the control software. Ø DPM has years of experience of preparing comprehensive control system strategies and include every part of the process, to develop the parameters and specification for the software engineer.		Ø This is the moment of truth. Every component must be checked for proper function and adjustments are made to meet the requirement. The software is now put to the test and adjusted. Experience is needed to evaluate sequencing, timing and interlocks to achieve the expected results. This is what DPM does best, having the understanding of every part of the process and many year of experience give you optimum results. Continued service after startup and online analysis of the process are important to further improve and refine and optimize the production.

	Environmental Engineering
	Most industrial projects have an impact on the environment and it is important to evaluate the effluent from the planned project to understand the consequences. DPM can calculate the emission and compare them to the permissible limits for the area where the plant is to be constructed. We propose solutions to meet the environmental requirements and prepare the information needed to submit to the environmental agencies for review. The review process is often time consuming and is frequently subject to a request for more information and modeling. Considering the complexity of environmental approval and obtaining operating permits, dictates that the engineering must be done early on. Equipment to meet environmental standards can be costly and it must be part of the project budget. DPM has many years of experience calculating the various emissions from a process and then selecting cost effective equipment to achieve results. Contact Us
