Decommissioning of former EDCS Manufacturing Plant, Texas, USA
The former Electrolysis Sodium Dichromate chemical manufacturing unit was built in the late 1990’s with production ceasing in 2002. The plant contained a number of raw and finished chemicals within the tanks, vessels, kiln and pipework as well as several LIVE electrical and mechanical equipment that fed other parts of the site.
The decommissioning phase comprised of the following activities:
- Removal and clean out of the EDCS kiln
- Removal and decontamination of residual chemicals
- Isolations and Disconnections of all services
- Re-routing of LIVE services
Safety and operational continuity were central to the success of this project. All decommissioning work was carried out incident-free, and we ensured that existing manufacturing processes continued smoothly throughout. This reflects D360’s commitment to delivering complex projects safely and efficiently.
