Medium Sized, US-Based Global Chemical Company

Client

The company is a diversified US technology and manufacturing company developing highly reliable adhesives, coatings, motion management devices, and sensing technologies that significantly reduce risk and improve product performance. For more than 90 years, the company has worked in collaboration with their customers to provide innovative oil and gas, aerospace, defense, automotive and industrial solutions. The company was a client of Isity Global, a company founded and run by Paul, at the time of this project. He continues to maintain a close relationship with the company’s Asia management.

Objectives

The client was under government pressure to eliminate fugitive VOC emissions from chemical process equipment in a very short time. The local government environmental authority was considering financial penalties or worse if a solution, to be determined by our client, was not implemented immediately.

The team was very responsive under a tight deadline to prepare and execute a plan that reduced our chemical plant VOC emissions by more than 90%. We were very pleased with the professional service provided by the team. We know who to turn to the next time to improve the working environment of our employees.

Quickly identify a specialized provider and source a solution that other leading global engineering firms were not
Custom designed temporary enclosures intended to last only until new production equipment can be installed in 2019
Low cost solution relies on modifying existing exhaust and VOC remediation system
