Refrigeration plant repair at the Rohan brewery

The challenge

A brewery depends on its refrigeration plant for fermentation and cold storage temperatures. When the condenser lost performance and two sections of the GEA Grasso unit had to be replaced, every hour of downtime meant a direct hit to the production cycle.

What our team did

Engineers first diagnosed the Baltimore condenser to find what was limiting heat rejection. The team then repaired the condenser, replaced two sections of the GEA Grasso refrigeration unit and ran start-up and commissioning to confirm the plant returned to its working parameters.

How the work was organized

The repair was scheduled to keep the production stop as short as possible. The plant went back into operation with its design temperatures restored for fermentation and storage.
