This is the first modularized HydroFlex™ plant in the world, and Chemex performed all on and off-module engineering for the renewable diesel area of the facility, including procuring the Basic Engineering Package from Haldor Topsoe, completing the process and detailed design, procurement, fabrication, and startup of the unit, as well as wrapping Haldor Topsoe's process guarantees with its own.

All on-module piping and structure, assembly, painting, insulating, heat tracing, electrical work, panels, junction boxes, and PLC wiring and programming was performed in-house at our fabrication facility in New Waverly, Texas. A team of Chemex engineers will be on-site alongside Haldor Topsoe engineers for pre-commissioning, commissioning, and test run in the latter half of 2021.
