In a significant step towards enhancing operational efficiency and reliability, ACTOLOG has successfully implemented a robust 320 KW power supply (UPS) system for a bottling company located in the oil-rich city of Port Harcourt by utilizing the technology of the MAKELSAN LEVELUPS series UPS system with a unique power factor of 1.0 (1 kva = 1 kw). This project not only highlights ACTOLOG’s expertise in providing cutting-edge power solutions but also marks a new chapter in seamless production for the Bottling Company.
The Objective
The Bottling Company needed a reliable power solution to support their factory machinery. ACTOLOG rose to the challenge by installing two units of 160KW UPS connected in parallel, resulting in a power capacity of 320KW. This setup is designed to provide clean and uninterrupted power, ensuring that production processes run smoothly even during power failures, and gives a 30-minute autonomy window to change to an alternative power source.
The Purpose
The primary goal of this installation was to provide a reliable power backup for the factory’s equipment. Power failures can be detrimental to production, causing delays and potential damage to machinery. The new UPS system from ACTOLOG ensures that the bottling company’s equipment remains operational, maintaining high production standards and protecting sensitive machinery from power fluctuations.
Overcoming Site Challenges
One of the major challenges at the site was the fluctuating supply voltage from PHCN, which ranged between 184V and 250V, along with other power vagaries like surges, spikes, brown-outs, surges, etc. Such variations are unsuitable for the factory’s machinery and could lead to operational disruptions. However, the UPS system’s voltage window, equipped with inbuilt stabilization and online double conversion technology, is able to effectively manage these power vagaries. This solution has made a significant difference by keeping the system running smoothly and protecting the equipment from potential damage, increasing operational efficiency, increasing equipment run-time, and increasing revenue and profitability.
Features and Benefits
The installed 320KVA UPS solution is packed with advanced features and benefits:
High Efficiency: Ensures optimal performance with minimal energy wastage.
Scalability: Can be scaled up to meet future power demands.
Advanced Monitoring: provides real-time insights into power usage and system performance.
These features translate into several key benefits for the Bottling Company:
Enhanced Power Stability: eliminate the risk of unplanned downtime.
Equipment Protection: shields critical machinery from power surges and outages.
Cost Savings: Lowers maintenance costs and minimizes operational disruptions.
Impact on the Bottling Company
With the new UPS system in place, the Bottling Company is poised to see significant improvements in both production capacity and product quality. The stable power supply ensures continuous operations, helping the company meet its production targets and maintain stringent quality control. This installation aligns perfectly with the company’s goals of sustainability and operational excellence.
