Why Choose Lieblich

Lieblich Turnkey “Design-Construct”:

When plans for the development of Flower & Fifth Avenue Hospital’s new teaching facility, the New York Medical College, in Valhalla, N.Y., were underway, the decision was made that their own steam-generating plant was mandatory.

The hospital issued a brief outline specification, asking for bids for the “design and construction” of the boiler plant and the building to house it and an underground steam distribution system. It spelled out little more than the total of 100,000 pph of high pressure steam to be generated along with the admonition that everything required was to be designed and constructed by the Turnkey Design-Construct Self-Financed Contractor.

The operating system was to be completed a year from contract award date, with an option to staff and operate the plant for another year. No payments would be made prior to completion. It was apparent that Lieblich’s quotation was the lowest on an evaluated bid basis and its bid was accepted, although it was originally the third in a field of four.

The contract was signed, with the stipulation that the system would be completed in twelve months

Lieblich Power Plant Installation:

The multi-million-dollar phased expansion of a New York City prison boiler plant was awarded to Lieblich—as the result of competitive bidding in the public sector. The plant produces steam for electric power generation, laundry, food processing and heating for over 10,000 prisoners contained in 52 separate structures on a 1,000-acre island in the East River.

The prison staff demanded maximum security, as well as precise commitments that generating facilities would not be interrupted at any time and that sufficient standby power would always be available in case of emergency on the island.

Four obsolete high-pressure water tube boilers were demolished and replaced by three 70,000-pph field-erected units designed to operate fully automatically on Grade #6 fuel oil. Simultaneously four additional new 40,000-gallon storage tanks were placed in an underground concrete vault, while a new double-wall insulated steel breeching was erected to connect the new boiler units to the chimney.

The fully automatic instrumentation included automatic electric combustion controls and master panels, turbine and motor driven auxiliaries, ventilating ducts and louvres and other ancillary equipment.

The project was commissioned in stages and efficiency tests performed on each unit of equipment prior to acceptance.

Lieblich Controls & Instrumentation:

Custom Designed Systems:

Our controls and instrumentation division is dedicated to designing and supplying the latest in state-of-the-art technology in burner management systems. We can design, repair, install, and start up systems in your plant that will reduce fuel costs and keep you up-to-date with the latest requirements of today's tougher air emission standards.

Lieblich’s Process Control Division has the capability of designing, managing and installing highly sophisticated control systems. Projects completed include:
sludge conversion, refuse control, incineration, air and water pollution abatement systems, waste treatment, water treatment and plant instrumentation.

Three Typical Projects:

1. Interim Sewage Treatment Plant—Dallas, Texas.

A pilot project for the Trinity River Authority, the plant is a sludge-conditioning system designed to derive usable by- products from the raw sewage of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Lieblich & Co. designed, interfaced and installed both the electronic and pneumatic control systems for the filter press portion of the project. This included complete automation of the chemical feed system, single action control of filtration parameters and semi-graphic control panel for monitoring all system variables

2. Missouri River Waste Water Treatment Facility— Omaha, Neb.

Lieblich was responsible for the control system of the city’s grease-burning watergrate incinerator, incorporating flame safeguard and motor control center interface for complete temperature and pressure control. The system includes computer-compatible instrumentation for remote monitoring of all plant processes.

3. Southwest Brooklyn Incinerator—New York, N.Y.

Lieblich furnished the instrumentation systems for the incinerator’s air pollution control system, as well as for its rehabilitation and modernization phases. Included are an 18-foot graphic display on the main control panel and individual control stations at each of the four garbage burning furnaces. A duplicate installation was also made by Lieblich at Greenpoint Incinerator, also in Brooklyn, the instrumentation automatically regulates furnace pressure and temperature, and automates back-up and emergency procedures for these two mammoth New York City Dept. of Sanitation facilities.

Lieblich Steam Conversion:

When new owners purchased the aged Henry Hudson Hotel on New York’s West Side, and transformed it into a modern facility—which would house Roosevelt Hospital offices and staff apartments as well as the studios and executive offices for WNET-TV who would be investing several millions in its new home—they quickly came to the conclusion that they could no longer afford “purchased street steam,” to make the building profitable. To save on fuel costs, they decided to convert to a fuel-fired boiler plant. Lieblich was the logical choice for the job. A new two-boiler low-pressure boiler plant was designed and installed, attended by many complicated decisions as to the feasibility of re-use, abandonment or replacement of original equipment.

The new plant and fuel burning system was installed without interrupting the existing service and was fired two months in advance of the scheduled completion date.
