From Grassland Restoration to Renewable Energy.

Some ideas come out of the blue. But an idea taking shape in the hog barns and rolling hills of northern Missouri came out of the green–the grasslands revered by an entrepreneur, industrialist, and dedicated conservationist. Missouri Prairie Foundation (MPF) technical advisor Rudi Roeslein loves native prairie for its beauty and unique set of ecological services. Now Roeslein is staking his reputation on an ambitious goal of returning 30 million acres of highly erodible land to native grasslands in 30 years.

Global Growth Opportunities: China and Beyond

Much is being made about what will happen to the Chinese economy, which is set to grow in 2013 at the slowest pace in 23 years. The can making industry is watching with keen interest as the new Chinese administration faces slowing factory production and reduced investment. While some are cautious about the future in China and other portions of Asia, one of the leading systems integrators in the D&I (canmaking) industry believes the market will remain strong through 2014. Roeslein and Associates Inc. opened a fabrication and construction facility in Shanghai nearly three years ago to establish a local presence in a country it believes will eventually become the largest consumer market in the world. Per capita consumption in China is currently only about 17 cans per year, far below the 360 cans each person consumes in the United States annually. But Roeslein and Associates believe China’s 1.3 billion people and growing middle-class point to increased consumption.

Applying Modularization, Unitization, and Preassembly to the Nuclear Power Industry

Although Roeslein & Associates, Inc. is a household name in the canmaking industry, it is less known within the markets to which it is new: pharmaceutical, oil and gas, refinery, power, chemical and petrochemical. Roeslein is earning a reputation for reduced start-up times and improved efficiencies using its signature approach, Modularization, Unitization and Preassembly.  One example of this type of success is Roeslein’s development of an automated sump pump system for an East Coast nuclear facility in 2012.

Modularization Delivers Improved Safety Records

The process modules and unitized systems Roeslein fabricate and test in its controlled environment at its fabrication facilities can be produced from conception to installation in a much safer manner than can traditional on-site construction methods. In addition to adhering to stringent safety standards as it fabricates and deploys its systems, Roeslein also provides a superior, built-in approach to safety for its equipment during normal plant operation.

Streamlining Site Installation and Start-up with Roeslein’s Modular Approach

In Roeslein’s approach, process modules and/or unit sections which are either affixed to floor mounted steel skids, or integrated into free standing steel structures (unit sections) are fabricated at one of its fabrication facilities located in the U.S. or China.  The preassembly and testing processes largely take place at its fabrication facility; this increases on-site unpacking efficiency, decreases the on-site re-assembly and installation time and reduces plant checkout time, improving the start-up curve.
