Leo Pharma - Central Utility Building

Project Description:
The Leo Pharma CUB development comprised a new Central Utility Building (CUB), purpose-built to accommodate a new Quad Generation Plant, Process Chilled Water Plant, and the associated site distribution network. This infrastructure supported many of the existing loads across the Leo Pharma Campus, while also considering future developments outlined in the Leo Pharma Master Plan.

The new CUB was specifically designed to suit the proposed plant, which included the following components:

Quad-Generation Plant
• 1.2MW Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Engine c/w Island Mode.
• Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG).
• Absorption Chiller.
• Step-up transformer linking engine to MV ring main.
• Condensing Boiler and Steam to LPHW Heat Exchanger (Peak Loads).

Process Chilled Water Plant
• 500kW Ammonia Chiller.
• Duty / Standby Cooling Towers.

Distribution Network
• LPHW, Process CHW, HVAC CHW and steam distribution via network of purpose built pipe bridges linking the new CUB plant to the existing loads on the campus.

Ethos Input:
Ethos Engineering was responsible for project management throughout both the design and construction phases. This included mechanical and electrical detailed design, tendering, appointment of contractors, and site monitoring through to final handover.

Unique Key Features:
• 1.2MW CHP Engine.
• HRSG.
• Absorption Chiller.
• Ammonia Chiller.
• Pipe Bridges.
