Delivery of a successful project includes thinking beyond the initial build phase. Future maintenance of processes and potential expansion also needs to be accounted for. MBHL produces sustainable and ethical laboratory-grown gemstone diamonds using CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) technology. The company engaged our services whilst building a new production facility in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
We designed and installed a turnkey gas delivery system to the CVD tools via VMPs (Valve Manifold Panels). A key design requirement was to create a system that ensured efficient use of available space and ease of operation and maintenance. It also needed to appropriately segregate the storage of different high-purity gas types and associated delivery systems.
Using our expertise, we future-proofed the design by making space allowances to incorporate additional connection points when needed. This removed any need for shutdowns and the retesting and commissioning of systems when expanding the system.
We used Northern Engineering Solutions to design, install and test all the ultra pure gas lines and equipment in our hazardous area rated process facility. They worked with us on safety studies and were very knowledgeable, professional and gave a first class service. Any small issues (which can and do occur) were speedily dealt with without complaint. I would highly recommend them and will be using them again.
