Scope of Work: Advanced HVAC, Dust & Fume, Fire & Electrical Systems
1. HVAC System: Chilled Water Cooling for Production & Facility
A. System Design & Implementation
Our HVAC design included a chilled water system that efficiently managed both facility cooling and production cooling through a dual-purpose air treatment system.
- Air Treatment Process:
- Dust-laden air is filtered before passing through chilled water coils for cooling and recirculation.
- Fume extraction system processes air through heat recovery units before it is exhausted outside.
- The makeup air is then pre-cooled using the heat recovery system and sent through chilled water coils before being reintroduced into the factory.
- Benefits of Integrated Cooling:
- Energy Efficiency: Minimizes power consumption by leveraging heat recovery.
- Optimized Airflow: Eliminates redundant ductwork and excessive power distribution.
- Uniform Temperature Control: Maintains stable cooling across different facility zones.
2. Dust Collection & Fume Extraction System
A. Industrial Dust Collection System
Dust control is critical for air quality and worker safety. We installed an advanced dust filtration system that:
- Captures industrial dust and particulates from production areas.
- Sends filtered air through chilled water coils before being recirculated.
- Eliminates airborne contaminants and ensures compliance with health & safety regulations.
B. Fume Extraction & Heat Recovery System
- Extracts harmful fumes and exhaust gases from industrial processes.
- Processes air through an air-to-air heat recovery unit before expelling it outside.
- Reduces the factory’s energy footprint by pre-cooling incoming fresh air using recovered heat.
3. Firefighting (FF) & Fire Alarm (FA) System
Key Benefits of the Dust & Fume System:
– Cleaner Air: Improves indoor air quality and worker health.
– Energy Savings: Uses waste heat to improve cooling efficiency.
– Compliance with Regulations: Meets industrial air quality and environmental standards.
A. Fire Suppression System Installation
The fire protection system included:
- Automatic sprinkler systems for rapid fire containment.
- CO2 and FM-200 fire suppression systems for specialized equipment areas.
- Fire hydrants and hose reels positioned strategically for emergency response.
B. Fire Alarm & Detection System
- Smoke and heat detection sensors installed across the factory.
- Centralized fire alarm control panel for rapid response and monitoring.
- Automated emergency notifications to alert factory personnel in case of fire hazards.
Key Benefits of Fire Protection System:
– Quick Fire Suppression: Immediate response to fire threats.
– Comprehensive Safety Compliance: Meets Saudi Arabian fire safety regulations.
– Automated Detection & Alarm System: Minimizes risk through real-time monitoring.
4. Electrical & Control Systems
A. Electrical Power Distribution
Saudi ProTech provided full electrical infrastructure solutions to support all factory operations.
- Main power panels & sub-distribution boards for HVAC, dust collection, and production machinery.
- Dedicated circuits & surge protection for sensitive equipment.
- Load balancing & power efficiency to reduce electrical costs.
B. Advanced Control & Automation
- Centralized control system for monitoring HVAC, dust collection, and fire safety systems.
- Automated HVAC operations based on temperature and air quality data.
- Energy management system for optimizing power consumption.
Key Benefits of Electrical & Control System:
– Seamless Integration: All mechanical systems work under one control network.
– Reduced Energy Costs: Optimized power distribution prevents excess consumption.
– Reliable Factory Operations: Ensures continuous power supply for production needs.
