Joffre, Alberta Nitrogen Plant
|
|
Constructed in the heart of winter in central
Alberta, this plant uses a combination of mechanical and expansion refrigeration to
isolate and liquefy
nitrogen from the air. Beginning as a green field, this plant was
constructed in less than seven months. Constructed of primarily of reconditioned materials, this plant
still exceeded all requirements of the
Alberta Boiler Safety Association (ABSA). The plant produces 250
tons per day of nitrogen for the energy industry at -320 degrees
Fahrenheit. QED acted as project manger and directed the efforts of all contractors on the site. |
