MFG, Specialty Chemical Manufacturer, Upgrades Georgia Manufacturing Plants

MFG Chemical, a specialty chemical manufacturer, is working to upgrade our three chemical manufacturing plants in Dalton, Georgia. We are calling this work Project Odyssey. The goal is to improve the manufacturing capabilities of Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, also known as DOSS. As one of our specialty surfactants, DOSS is used in a variety of applications.

As a specialty chemical manufacturer, Project Odyssey has already improved our industrial chemistry management systems in the areas of safety and compliance. We expect it to improve the quality, consistency, and safety of DOSS manufacturing. The improvements include:

• New cooling towers for better quality control of the reaction using a closed system at known temperature with lower cycle time and lower water waste;
• New DCS process control technology for better control on reaction parameters and cycle times, reduced human error by having remotely activated valves and reduced risk by automating the shutdown process; and,
• New pressure release control valve, safety instrumented systems and upgraded piping to minimize and localize possible run-away reaction.

MFG Chemical has been producing DOSS since 1982. With the improvements generated from Project Odyssey, we will enter into an industry leadership position for DOSS manufacturing.
