Those nagging doubts about early obsolescence of your new plant Have you chosen the right raw material? Is there a better process? Should the plant be larger? Most companies invest tremendous amounts of capital in selecting processes and building new plants. But even the most sophisticated companies sometimes find themselves unable to compete long before a new plant has reached the end of its projected life. Why? A raw material or a process selected without full consideration of changing conditions might turn out to be a poor choice in a few years or even a few months. New developments in the production of feedstocks may significantly change price and availability. New processes may be introduced. Old processes may be improved. Marketing trends also must be considered. A plant that is too small will have difficulty in competing with one of larger capacity as markets increase. Process and raw material evaluation aimed toward maximum plant longevity requires intimate familiarity with technical and commercial aspects of the world-wide chemical industry. A knowledgeable engineering-construction organization can help a manufacturer anticipate significant trends and plan accordingly. For over twenty years, Scientific Design has been helping companies in arriving at decisions like these. Experience in developing our own processes and in applying creative chemical engineering qualifies us to design, construct and start up a plant for you based on your own or a licensed process.
