Cooling Tower Load Tests
EPMICS-Engineering, acting as local representative in UAE of its partner, VODEH, well-known cooling tower producer, conducted the final acceptance testing at the industrial facility of Arab Basalt Fiber Company (ABFC). The testing, conducted at ABFC’s facility in Fujairah—the largest basalt fiber and composite manufacturing plant in the MENA region — confirms that the system’s operational parameters fully comply with original design targets. The ABFC facility is a pioneer in the industry, featuring an innovative energy-saving cooling scheme. The system utilizes absorption chillers to generate cold by recovering “waste” heat from furnace exhaust gases.
Absorption system works within the complex cooling system including colling towers, accumulating tanks and pump systems. Undergoing the ambitious process of reaching plant’s full design capacity, ABFC team has managed to meet the important milestone when the cumulative capacity of the operated furnaces reaches the point when mentioned cooling system can be tested at its normal operational mode. From this moment all cooling systems, both for AC and for process needs, can utilize furnaces recovered energy alone, that provides for significant saving of electricity as well as present pioneer green-energy approach.

The final test at actual load was conducted by mutual team of ABFC, EPMICS and Shuangliang Eco-Energy, adsorption chiller manufacture, confirms that the system’s operational parameters fully comply with original design targets and sustainability of this approach for basalt continuous fiber production plants.
Why we’re not surprized? Well, the whole idea to implement this technology in basalt fiber production was generated, engineered and implemented at the facility in Fujairah by those engineers who now works at EPMICS. …
It’s always rewarding to see a complex system work exactly as designed. But is exactly what we expected!
