Pulp Mill P&ID Validation
About The Project
Our client, an international company with 3 major pulp mills in western Canada, required a through walk-down of various process areas to validate the P&IDs for the operating and ancillary processes. Our site level experience and familiarity with end devises produces accurate drawings of the live process. Completion reflects benefits in Safety, maintenance efficiencies and a prelude activity prior to DCS modernization.
