Analysis of Bioethanol Production Plant Decanter
The production of bioethanol has increased significantly in recent years, with modern technology increasing yields during the production process. Stillage is a 'syrup-like' byproduct that is distilled from the ethanol after the fermentation process. Animal feed can be extracted from the stillage through the use of decanters that separate the fluid and suspended solids through the use of centripetal forces generated by its rotation. The decanters are routinely [...]

St. Pancras Station Analysis of Sprinkler System for Tyco Wormald
Life would be a lot easier for designers and engineers if we could remove, eliminate or demolish what exists already. The ability of a good designer or engineer is to produce designs that work with and compliment an existing design, not bulldoze the merits of our engineering heritage. DC White thrives on these challenges - such as this one, presented to us by Tyco Wormald. Historic Project: [...]

Channel Tunnel Rail Link Piping Bracketry
Following our design work for the London Underground Jubilee line, we were asked to design the brackets that would hold the fire mains and drainage piping in the 43 kilometres of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link system. The brackets were required to support the self weight of the pipework as well as surge pressures. Surge Analysis Although the fire mains were permanently filled with water, [...]
