Enginuity has been selected to support a BC-based chemical manufacturer with a critical infrastructure upgrade aimed at improving efficiency and sustainability.
The Challenge: The client operates a high-volume batch chemical process that relies on city water in an open-loop cooling system to manage exothermic reactions. With water costs nearing $50,000 per quarter and sustainability goals becoming increasingly important, they required a more efficient solution that could be implemented without disrupting ongoing operations or altering core processes.
Our Approach: Enginuity is evaluating closed-loop cooling options, including both chiller and hybrid chiller–cooling tower systems. The solution aims to maintain reliable heat rejection for oil-based cooling loops while significantly reducing city water consumption. The existing system will remain in place as a backup.
Why Enginuity: The client chose Enginuity for our cross-disciplinary expertise in mechanical, electrical, structural, and thermal systems, and our ability to translate real-world plant conditions into buildable solutions. Our team is also assessing structural and electrical capacity, equipment layouts in tight spaces, and collaborating with vendors to support a clear go/no-go decision based on ROI.
This project reflects Enginuity’s commitment to sustainable engineering and practical problem-solving, delivering solutions that combine industrial efficiency, energy-conscious design, and long-term client value.
