Flo-Dry Engineering Ltd

Company Description

COMPANY PROFILETHE COMPANYFlo-Dry Engineering Ltd (FDEL) was established in 1985 as a design and manufacturing company for the Flo-Dry direct fired rotary driers and complete processing systems. In 1990, Tissa and Nele Fernando bought the Company from other owners that included Auckland Farmerâs Freezing Co. Ltd, which held 60% off the shares.Projects executed by FDEL have ranged from animal by-products processing to wastewater treatment within both industrial and municipal plants. Today, main focus of the company is on developing, constructing and delivering Sludge Drying Plants for municipal sewage sludge treatment plants.FDEL demonstrated the ability to manage projects in Australia, New Zealand and in more distant locations like UK, Chile and India. The quality and reliability of the plants is evidenced by the number of repeat client orders we have had over the years.The company employs a team of eleven engineers, and three support staff to develop designs, installs and commissions the plants. Comprehensive after-sales service ensures smooth operation of plants and equipment supplied. Association of the company with the client is viewed as a long-term partnership.FDEL is driven by one priority â to provide a responsive, competent and comprehensive service to industry. The companyâs capabilities extend from initial customer requirements to developing specific packaged system, technical development and manufacture of specialized equipment for a large portfolio of customers in many industry sectors.FDEL has recently developed, based on intensive laboratory experimentation, packaged systems for FRDB (Flo-Dry Reactive Distillation Biodiesel) based on continuous Reactive Distillation Process. Patent for this unique process has already been applied. FDEL now plans to venture in the manufacture of standardized packages for rendering plants and other end users as forward integration. Reactive Distillation Process can employ a wide range of raw materials including animal tallow and waste vegetable oil to produce Biodiesel-named EVERDIESEL, meeting New Zealand & Australia National and International Standards.Another packaged system developed by FDEL is Electro Dewatering of Municipal Sludge, termed as FEDW- Flo-Dry Electro De Watering package. This package developed in-house based on intensive laboratory tests and demonstration plant runs, is also awaiting commercialization. Patent application has also been lodged. Process uses very low voltage potential applied across electrodes dipped in conductive sludge. With controlled conditions of flow, current, pH, temperature, polymer, etc an increase of DS (dry solids) of around 30 % can be guaranteed over the achievable DS by polymer addition only.FDEL strength lies in the team, comprising of specialists from industrial backgrounds. They understand the priorities, problems and constraints that clients often have to deal with, and therefore provide more effective support.FLO-DRY ENGINEERING PROJECTS LISTNOCOMPANYYEARPROJECT TYPE1Pacific Proteins Ltd**Mt Maunganui NZ1983CSTR Plant2Advanced Foods Ltd*Waipukurau, NZ(Modified)19851995CSTR Plant3Auckland City Abattoirâ Auckland NZ1985CSTR Plant4Borthwicks - CWSâ Fielding, NZ19862 x CSTR Plant5Stevens-NCFâ Kaiapoi, NZ19872 x CSTR Plant6Wellington City Abattoir â Wellington, NZ1987CSTR Plant7B&E Rassauâ Wales, UK1988CSTR Plant8Murwillumbah Abattoirâ NSW, Australia1988CSTR Plant9Fertal Pty Ltdâ Perth, Australia1988CSTR Plant10Auckland Farmer'sâ  Freezing Co-op Ltd, Horotiu, NZ1989MLTR PlantCSTR Plant11Camilleri Stockfeed Ptyâ¡NSW, Australia19913S SkidBiofilter12Lakeview Farms Ltdâ Levin, NZ1992MLTR Plant13Affco Allied Products LtdImlay, Wanganui, NZ1993Biofilter14Rockdale Feedlot Management Ptyâ NSW, Australia1993CSTR Plant15***** Scott Pty Ltd§NSW, Australia19931S-Skid16Tabro Meats Pty.
