A chemical company which manufactures industrial inorganic chemicals planned to construct a new Brine Treatment Plant to double their manufacturing capacity at their Delaware City, DE, plant. This chemical manufacturer planned to modify their existing salt handling and brine production area with the addition of a weir installation and other modifications to the brine saturator pit. Additional areas within the plant construction included: pre-coat and body feed systems, filter press operations, brine guard filters installation, filtered brine tank, BIE processing skid with columns, pure brine storage tank and a recycle process water tank. All new equipment was housed in an approximately 6,500SF prefabricated metal building built on a concrete slab with depressed areas to accommodate the process demands.
