Archie Rose Distilling Co., Banksmeadow
Design and construct of 725 kW central process chilled water plant and low-temperature chill filtration system with prefabricated stainless steel skid assemblies for Archie Rose Distillery
Project story
QEG was engaged by Archie Rose Distilling Co. to design and construct the central process cooling plant for their new Banksmeadow distillery. The scope comprised two interconnected cooling systems: a 725 kW Dunham-Bush water-cooled magnetic bearing chiller providing process chilled water, and a dedicated low-temperature chill filtration chiller delivering -3°C leaving water temperature for spirit filtration. QEG prefabricated two purpose-built stainless steel skid assemblies offsite to house the central plant, pumps, valves, and controls, minimising on-site installation time within the live distillery construction programme. The integrated BMCS Plant Manager with BACnet communications enabled centralised monitoring and control of both cooling loops.
Equipment installed
- 1 x 725 kW Dunham-Bush DCLC24OMCDM345 water-cooled magnetic bearing chiller (2 x Danfoss Turbocor TT350 compressors, R-134a, 289 kg charge)
- 1 x low-temperature chill filtration chiller (-3°C leaving water temperature for spirit filtration)
- BAC cooling towers (condenser heat rejection)
- Wilo IL80/200-22/2-A-L1 chilled water pumps (29.5 HP) and Wilo IL100/145-11/2-A-L1 condenser water pumps (14.75 HP)
- 2 x prefabricated stainless steel skid assemblies (CH-8100 process chilled water skid, CH-8200 chill filtration skid)
- 360 Water side-stream filtration system
- BMCS Plant Manager with BACnet MSTP communications and MCS-TOUCH-10.1 display
“Quantum Engineering Group demonstrated a very high level of design competence in this challenging project. This was followed up by excellence in construction of the chiller skids much to the satisfaction of Allen & Associates and the principals of Archie Rose.”
