Phase: Live Design & Calculations

Nickel Refinery Electrical Design

Sector: Metallurgy / Industrial
Role: Lead Electrical Design Engineer
Heat Spec: 550°C Reactor Infrastructure

The Challenge

PWM Engineering is currently delivering the comprehensive electrical design for a specialized nickel refinery facility. The project requires a dual-focus approach: designing robust power systems to support high-temperature reactor equipment while ensuring all building services meet stringent industrial safety and occupancy standards.

Power & Distribution

  • Load Calculations: Detailed demand analysis to specify a new Motor Control Centre (MCC).
  • Cable Sizing: Execution of complex calculations for high-demand process equipment, accounting for voltage drop and thermal derating.
  • Equipment Supply: Engineering the infrastructure to support 550°C thermal processing units.

Building Services

  • Lighting Design: Optimizing Lux levels to ensure safe and efficient operational environments.
  • Emergency Systems: Full compliance design for emergency lighting (BS 5266-1).
  • Infrastructure: General building services design to support auxiliary refinery operations.
