Capabilities and Equipment
Distillation
Our stainless steel columns and kettles enable both batch and continuous operations under various pressures.
Equipment:
A stainless steel (304) 24″ diameter column with 38 ballast valve trays. Included is a 4000-gallon kettle which allows either batch or continuous operation. The operating pressure range is atmospheric to 28″ of vacuum.
Distillation
A larger setup with advanced features for intricate chemical processes.
Equipment:
A 40″ diameter 304 stainless steel column with 40 bubble cap trays. This system has the same setup as Group I.
Reactor System
Capable of performing diverse reactions such as esterification, hydrolysis, and alkylations.
Equipment:
A 5700-gallon s.s. kettle with a 24″ diameter X 40′ tall s.s. packed column.
The overhead condenser system is equipped for both cooling water and refrigerated water.
This system is capable of vacuum operation and multiple feed points and can perform reactions such as (but not limited to): esterification, hydrolysis, difficult separations, and alkylations.
Dehydration
Utilizing advanced molecular sieve driers for efficient water removal.
Equipment:
A carbon steel “liquid phase” molecular sieve drier. The water removal rate is 2000 pounds per day.
Dehydration
A higher rate of water removal with distillation.
Equipment:
A carbon steel “vapor phase” molecular sieve drier. The water removal rate is 4000 pounds per day. The unit has two 18-inch diameter packed beds and a distillation column that also serves as the vaporizer.
Utilities
Boilers, cooling towers, and a vaporizer system to support our processes.
Equipment:
Two boilers with a combined capacity of 32,000 pounds per hour of 150 psig saturated steam, two cooling towers, and a 1000-gallon liquid nitrogen vaporizer system.
Carbon Beds & Filters
Equipped with carbon beds and stainless steel filters for purification.
Equipment:
Six miscellaneous carbon beds, 2-18 inch diameter & 5 feet tall stainless steel cartridge filters, and numerous stainless steel bag filters.
Storage
Extensive storage facilities to accommodate various chemicals.
Equipment:
Seventy carbon steel atmospheric storage tanks and four 10,000-gallon and one 15,000-gallon s.s. tanks.
The size ranges from 3,000 to 250,000 gallons with a combined capacity of 1,300,000 gallons.
Distribution
Certified truck scales and transport systems for seamless logistics.
Equipment:
Truck and barge systems are available.
A certified truck scale is on site.
A rail system is on-site but requires major overhauling.
Routine Products

Equipment:
Ethyl alcohol
Tert-butyl alcohol
Isopropyl alcohol
Miscellaneous alkanes
Specialty solvents
Phosphite chemicals
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone
Low boiling amines
Ethylene and propylene glycol
Esters
Ketones
Miscellaneous chemicals with boiling points below 450°F
