BASF Oilfield Polymers Lab, Houston, TX
The scope of this project included the production of a report outlining the scope of HVAC (and associated Electrical and Plumbing) work required in the replacement of the existing RTU-12 (Technical Description of the Project) and construction bid documents. BASF 311 Building Laboratory Renovations, Houston, TX Project included the design of construction documentation for the new Houston Laboratory MEP systems. Included coordination of the design with surrounding office areas and other consultants. BASF Corporation, Freeport, TX Acrylic Monomers Lab Renovation, Quality Assurance Laboratory Facility, Capro-Anone Research Laboratory, Capro-Lactam II Production Laboratory, Capro-Lactam Production Control Room Ventilation System. BASF 701 Building HVAC & Pressurization System This project included replacement and relocation of existing HVAC equipment, ductwork and appurtenances which resulted in a complete and functional HVAC and pressurization system. BASF 800/ 806 Building Exhaust & Control Room Fresh Air Supply System The project consisted of designing a new fresh air ventilation system for the Capro-Lactam production facility. The issue was complicated by the fact that due to the location of the Control Room, fresh air was not readily available. Wanting to maintain a pressurized environment within the Control Room required that pressurization testing prior to the design was required to determine, empirically, the amount of air needed to produce the requested level of pressurization, relative to the surrounding production facilities. Once this was accomplished, a multiple bed, gas-phase filtration system, along with a water cooled chilled water air conditioning system was designed to scrub the incoming air, temper it and deliver it to the Control Room. This design saved the construction of a 200+ foot 32” round, stainless steel outside air stack which would have been required to get to a location with acceptable air quality to accomplish the task at hand.
