When the University of Florida needed very high-tolerance water and steam piping and the installation of specialty equipment for their new Cellulosic Ethanol Pilot Plant in Gainesville, FL, they chose S.I. Goldman, a Comfort Systems USA company. The CSUSA team:
Was one of two invited bidders
Installed specialty equipment for handling enzyme-based reactions
Has had no callbacks since the facility opened its doors
The University of Florida's Cellulosic Ethanol Pilot Plant in Gainesville, FL is a biomass fuels lab that converts plant material to ethanol. The state of Florida's year-round growing season makes it the United States' number one biomass producer, with more than 124 tons generated each year.
S.I. Goldman, with a crew of no more than four mechanics, installed systems for high pressure (600 lb.) steam, low -pressure steam, de-ionized water, domestic cold water, low-pressure and high-pressure condensate and pump condensate. They also installed two boilers, one for low-pressure and one for high-pressure. In addition, S.I. Goldman had to install some specialty equipment for handling enzyme-based reactions, including Belgian manufactured fermenters and a hydrolizer.
S.I. Goldman's crew went above and beyond on this accelerated $100,000 job. Their part of the work was started in early July and finished by mid-August. In October, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held that included representatives from the Florida governor's office. The facility has been up and running ever since with no callbacks.
