Because the entire system is to be installed in North Africa, a number of potential difficulties presented themselves including administrative issues, local regulations and special banking requirements, all of which posed a risk of potential problems. J-Tec points out that whenever a single item of equipment needs to be imported there is an overload of accompanying paperwork. In order to sidestep this problem and guarantee that the complete project would be delivered on schedule, the company came up with an ingenious solution. It made use of a vacant warehouse owned by Katoen Natie which is situated close to its Kapellen headquarters. Here J-Tec has been able to build and pre-wire the entire installation, allowing it to be thoroughly tested both with and without product. The installation was also engineered in specific modules and skids in order to simplify and facilitate its delivery to the customer’s site. www.j-tec.com
