The T5 rectifier transformer at the Chemtrade Logistics’ plant in Brandon, MB had developed several moderate leaks over its service life resulting in an increased risk to the asset as well as potential environmental concerns.

Dynamo was retained to complete the electrical and instrumentation scope associated with a new cooling tower cell at the Yara facility in Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan.

After a fire destroyed Yara Belle Plaine’s Nitric Acid plant, Dynamo was retained to assess the extent of the damage and assist with devising a path forward to rebuild the facility.

Dynamo was retained to reconfigure the primary and secondary cables for 85.NUT.67 distribution transformer.  The top-entry configuration of the existing cabinets were severely compromised due to the corrosive environment and water entering the compartments through the cable entry point.

Dynamo was originally retained by Yara to perform a scoping study to evaluate present and future loading requirements.  Based on future plant increases and aging electrical infrastructure, the study recommended the installation of two (2) new, fully redundant 138–13.8 kV transformers and a new 13.8 kV switchgear line-up.
