Case Study
Client: Canadian Oil and Gas Major
Location: Ontario, Canada
Budget: $3.4 Million

Challenge: To develop conceptual engineering designs to improve safety, productivity and
reduce cross-contamination and waste on an inline blender for lube oil products.
Solution: Oneira delivered a design that met stringent space constraints, constructability
requirements, budget expectation and ensured minimal production impacts.

Result: Oneira saved $1 million for the project through ecient engineering and by
proposing a streamlined fabrication and construction approach.
Case Study
Client: Global Chemical Producer
Location: Ontario, Canada
Budget: $7 Million
Project: Plant Expansion

Challenge: A major chemicals producer required a signicant expansion to incorporate
a state-of-the-art fatty acid processing facility.
Solution: The expansion incorporated a continuous high pressure fat splitting process,
a glycerin ion exchange purication and a new hydrogenation reactor. Oneira
supported the project from concept to commissioning and developed all aspects
of the expansion design.

Result: The new facility signicantly improved plant eciency and increased capacity to
manufacture fatty acids and glycerol to meet global demand.

Commissioning
Description: Henkels plant is truly state-of-the-art, producing consistently
high quality fatty chemicals from natural fats and oils. This project included the
installation of new unit processes in three areas:
Fat and Oil Splitting: A new, continuous high pressure (500 psig) splitter was
custom fabricated and installed within the existing production area. The process
technology was developed by Henkel and is regarded as the latest and most
ecient in the industry.
Glycerine Purication: Ion exchange purication and concentration.
Hydrogenation: The installation of a new hydrogenation reactor.
Oneiras task force approach assured Henkel that the same qualied personnel
were on the project from preliminary design through commissioning an
essential commitment for cost-eectiveness and operation success.
