MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

Quench Column & Thermal Oxidizer Design
Factory Services and Effluent Treatment

Dove Thermal has undertaken over forty plant cooling and works engineering services projects for sites throughout the U.K., several of which spread over a hundred acres or more - such as Plessey, Silvertown Refinery, and various Alcan factories.

They include consult-design-construct factory services programmes for all types of cooling plant and equipment, water treatment and separation schemes, boilerhouses, plantrooms and ancillary services. Some were consequent upon earlier engagements, such as our investigation into an outbreak of Legionaires' Disease at an inner city industrial site, and the development of modelling techniques for the Hydraulics Research Station at Wallingford.

They were carried out before and since introduction of the 1996 IPPC Directive, such as dyeworks effluent treatment (discharging to foul sewer), continuous casting outfall (to the Oxford Canal) and furnace emissions control (in Kentucky). Dove Thermal is concerned with equipment that must respond to upstream conditions so as to preserve the status of the process it serves. In such instances, we are involved with the entire host process when designing (say) a thermal oxidizer, scrubber or quench column to serve it. We have been engaged as project managers, main contractors, expert witness and forensic engineers by many substantial organizations, including those listed below.
