Client: Rio Tinto Alcan
Application: Aluminum Smelter
Location: Kitimat, BC Canada

Equipment Summary:
6m x 201 m Labyrinth Natural Ventilator
(59) 4m wide x 2.5m High LV7590 Wall Louver

Project Profile

As part of their North American partnership the Colt Group and Moffitt Corporation teamed-up to provide equipment for an anode pallet storage building for Rio Tinto Alcan. As part of their planned Kitimat Modernization Project (KMP), Rio Tinto Alcan decided to update their facility to increase efficiency and energey savings, while also increasing production by over 48%.

Rio Tinto’s engineering firm, Bechtel, contacted Colt/Moffitt to assit in the design of ventilation equipment for the storage facility. After careful consideration, Moffitt chose to use natural ventilation utilizing Labyrinth ventilators on the roof and 90 degree operable wall intake louvers.

Testing of Labyrinth was conducted to prove the units would withstand the heavy snow loads that are commonplace in British Columbia. Colt/Moffitt also provided local field assembly and supervision services for the Labyrinth and louvers at the Kitimat jobsite to help ensure proper assembly and installation.

The co-op of Colt and Moffitt led to the complete design, engineering, manufacturing and supplying of the ventilation equipment for the KMP. All manufacturing was done at the Moffitt plant in the United States.

Client: Goodyear
Application: Tire Factory
Location: Dalian, China

Equipment Summary:
Continuous Relief Ventilators - 474 m² of 600mm
Continuous Relief Ventilators - 5,203 m² of 1200mm
Continuous Relief Ventilator - 376 m² of 3000mm

Project Profile
Goodyear is one of the world’s largest tire companies, with operations in most regions of the world. Together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, Goodyear operates 54 plants in 22 countries.

Spaceframe/Moffitt Industrial Ventilation Products won the contract for the design and manufacture of the ventilation equipment for Goodyear’s facilities in Dalian, China. In China, ventilation systems are a little different from those in the US. In the US air movement is the top priority to consider with ventilation.

In China however, the priorities are:

1. Worker Safety (smoke release in case of fire)
2. Natural Lighting for Good Global Environmental Stewardship
3. Facility Ventilation

Spaceframe/Moffitt Industrial Ventilation was able to meet all of Goodyear’s priority list with our CRV by incorporating value added options to the unit. Contact your local Moffitt representative for assistance meeting your facility requirements.
