<p><!-- wp:heading {"level":5} --></p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading">Customer Challenge</h5> <p><!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>A large soft drink bottling plant in the Midwestern U.S. was presented with corporate sustainability initiatives for their 300,000 square foot manufacturing facility, which prompted them to evaluate a range of measures to reduce their facility&rsquo;s environmental impact. The refrigeration and boiler systems were targeted since they are major consumers of energy and water.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":5} --></p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading">Recommended Solution</h5> <p><!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>The plant&rsquo;s 1,600 ton ammonia refrigeration system consists of three evaporative condensers and eight compressors. A 550-HP boiler system provides 85 psi process steam. Reliable and efficient operation of these systems is required for plant production.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Chem-Aqua&rsquo;s liquid water treatment program was providing good results, but chemical storage, handling, and disposal presented sustainability concerns. The HandiChem Solid Water Treatment System was introduced to address this.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>With the HandiChem System, chemicals are provided as solid concentrates in either block form or one-gallon recyclable plastic bottles, rather than liquid in drums. HandiPak^&reg; Solid Concentrates are dissolved as needed into a small plastic reservoir using a HandiFeed&trade; Mixing Board. The feed solution is then pumped into the system being treated.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {"level":5} --><!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>The HandiChem System was installed and provided the proven results of the previous high-performance liquid program.
