Chemicals
As worldwide demand for both consumer goods and materials substitution grows, so does the need for durable, innovative and less carbon-intensive chemical intermediates. As feedstock prices, supply chain issues and transportation costs fluctuate around the globe, the projects you are considering must acknowledge and adapt to those changes. This dynamic chemicals market requires your manufacturing operation to be nimble and responsive to market conditions. We are your partner in this market, offering innovative techniques and flexible engineer-procure-construct (EPC) solutions to help you grow along with demand.
Additionally, the chemicals industry continuously seeks new and improved processes. The energy transition — buoyed by incentives such as the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and social pressure to improve the impact of chemicals on the environment — will lead to projects in critical battery materials and fluoropolymers, high-purity chemicals to support the reshoring of the semiconductor industry, bio-based polymers with biodegradable properties, and specialized resins to protect the environment from PFAS chemicals. These projects require critical thinking, experience in scaling and improving existing processes, and a nimble team that approaches projects with the end in mind.
Circular Economy and Chemical Recycling Projects
Demand for plastic is high and continues to grow. The plastics industry seeks solutions to increase circularity of the plastics economy through optimization of virgin material and increasing material reuse. We are focused on helping you to understand these intricacies and to engineer long-term and renewable solutions to meet your sustainability goals.
Staying Abreast of EPA & Regulatory Projects
Chemical manufacturers, like refiners and other industrial operators, are obligated to stay current with Environmental Protection Agency rules. For example, changes to the enforcement approach addressing Benzene Waste Operations National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), also known as BWON, are escalating air quality compliance concerns for refineries and chemical facilities. Our team can seamlessly address your compliance concerns, wastewater treatment and impacts to processing units.
Accountability: Predictable and Competitive Project Solutions
Starting with our knowledge transfer process to minimize change and churn on your project, our team applies construction-driven engineering and extensive experience in implementing proven process technologies across the chemicals industry. We help you find the right project solutions to meet your objectives. Our predictable and competitive project cost estimates are developed through collaboration with your team, both in the office and on-site, and integration in the earliest stages of front-end engineering. This allows us to offer project solutions unique to your goals, innovations that we can stand behind.
Flexible EPC Execution Options
We deliver the right EPC project execution strategy for any scenario by offering multiple construction and commercial options. Your project could benefit from our self-perform construction capabilities, our decades of construction experience managing right-sized subcontracts, or the multiple successful joint-venture EPC projects we’ve completed. We work with you to select the optimal construction execution and commercial approach from these options within the constraints of your project.
