The Primary Battery B Modifications project at the Hyperion Treatment Plant, called for the refurbishing and modernization of Batter B. MEC worked as a subcontractor to Kiewit Pacific Company. Because this was an upgrade to an existing facility, MEC electricians performed all work while the plant was continously operating. Installation and upgrades consisted of:

  • Modifications to the Motor Control Center
  • Modifications to the Distributed Control System
  • Installation of longitudinal collectors
  • Replacing the primary sludge pumps
  • Replacing the sludge collection system
  • New stainless steel effluent  launders
