Catalyst in-house chemical experts and assembled by the fabrication team , the system underwent startup testing in August 2023 and later successfully produced an initial batch of phosphonate . The scale-up to full production is set for the coming weeks , with an anticipated additional production capacity of 400,000 pounds per month .”
Sharing more details on the chemical system , Vern continues : “ The phosphonate reactor was built immediately following the completion of a large blend tank expansion project , which included the installation of a tank capable of blending batches over 8000 gallons . These new tanks will assist in increasing our capacity while also improving the efficiency and quality control of our blended chemicals .
“ Our chemical engineers created a thermal system connected to the blend tanks to control system temperatures for optimal blending conditions . The innovative design not only facilitates waste reduction , shorter rinse times , and heightened efficiency , but also elevates production capacity by 1.3 million gallons per month .”
