Project Profiles

Dow Chemical - Pittsburg, CA
On-site Support/Staff Augmentation

Eichleay has established a team of over 30 professionals on-site at Dow. This group provides project management, construction management, project engineering, discipline engineering and design, project controls, project planning, and safety. Our team is intimately involved in the execution of capital projects.

Rhodia - Martinez, CA
Lube Spent Acid Facilities
Detailed Design, Engineering, Procurement, Permitting, Project Controls

Construction Cost: $4.5 million

Eichleay successfully executed this project to treat lube spent acid with an extremely accelerated schedule of 6 months. The project included truck unloading facilities, pumping stations, agitated storage, vapor recovery, vapor scrubbing, flaring waste containment, and fire protection.
General Chemical - Richmond, CA
Mechanical Integrity Program

In addition to involvment in various capital projects, Eichleay established an on-site team to develop a mechanical integrity program for the sulfuric acid plant. Our team walked down and updated all P&IDs for the plant and created new ones if none existed. Plant documents, including drawings, equipment specifications and data sheets, instrument data sheets, vendor files, etc., were compiled, updated, and systematically organized. ID tagging for equipment and instruments was developed. Pressure relief sytems were evaluated and updated in addition to plant electrical systems. An inspection program was developed and implemented for the plant, and maintenance procedures were created for equipment, instruments, and electrical systems. All of this was then incorported into a plantwide maintenance and preventative maintenance program.

Shell Chemical - Martinez, CA
Catalyst Manufacturing Plant Modernization
Engineering, Design, Project and Construction Management, Process Automation

Construction Cost: $10 million

A parallel production line was added to Shell's Chemical Plant for a capacity increase of ethylene oxide catalyst. Production equipment (reactor vessels, dehumidifier, dryer, centrifuge, and material handling systems) were added along with emission controls, utilities, and a distributed control system.
