Our client wished to improve the homogeneity of its ingredient dosing to produce a very high specification product for its customer.

The solution involved redesigning the process with greater automation, improved tank design and new mixers. To keep capital cost down, existing equipment was reused and reconfigured as required to achieve the desired outcome.

The system was installed during a winter shut and achieved the required dosing homogeneity immediately on start up.
