MDI Drum Thaw Infrastructure Design

AED responded to an urgent request from a global chemical manufacturer to design a new MDI Drum Thaw facility. AED’s civil/structural team designed a new building to house the drum ovens and coordinated associated permitting. The mechanical and piping team designed the process utilities supply (steam, potable water, condensate return) to the building. The company’s Electrical + Instrumentation team designed the power supply to the MDI building and auxiliaries as well as the instrumentation design for the drum temperature monitoring. The detailed design was executed in three months and the facility was completed in just over eight months from the start of the detailed design. Laser scanning led to zero field rework. AED was commended for their swift actions and quality in the design of the project.
