Our customer, whose business involves process power, control, automation, and instrumentation solutions across a wide range of power generation and process industries asked us to build them a 50ft containerised enclosure for housing their Electrostatic Power Precipitators.
ESPs are used to collect solid particulate matter from the exhaust gases emitted by industrial processes such as coal-fired power generation, steel and cement manufacturing, and waste incineration. They are also used in a similar manner in chemical and wet processes.
The customer is installing a system in Mexico at new Coal Fired Power Station and needed a turnkey solution that can be safely transported with their ESP controller to site.
