Project Description: Multinational company is contemplating investment into modernization and expansion of its LA operation. Potential investment strategy under consideration would include repairs, upgrades, rebuilds, and modernization of facilities/operations as well as construction to expand facilities, add new processing operations, and other investments to increase output capacity. These investments are necessary for the LA operation to be a critical component of the company's global footprint. These investments are also necessary for this location to remain competitive and successful in its industry, now and into the future. The project will result in significant job creation & substantial capital investment and position the facility for long-term success in LA.KIK's Bio-Lab chlorine plant was a complete loss from the fire that broke out during Hurricane Laura. As a result of this qualified disaster, the company is seeking to rebuild the plant and invest to expand the facility and its output. The facility will manufacture trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), an inorganic halogenated biocide, and disodium isocyanurate (swimming pool sanitizer). The manufacturing of TCCA consists of adding crushed, neutralized cyanuric acid to a sodium hypochlorite solution in a reaction vessel and introducing gaseous chlorine into the mixture. The product TCCA is filtered from the reacted solution, dried and stored in bins for subsequent compaction, granulation, and packaging. There would be two reactor production trains to produce TCCA, Plant 2 is outside, and Plant 4 is where the TCCA is compacted then granulated. The complete rebuild/expansion will include shipping, maintenance, lab, TCCA Plant, machine shop, and sub station buildings. Additionally, all process related equipment will be restored or upgraded, including but not limited to process piping, blenders, baghouses, control systems, cooling tower, reactors, and the numerous other pieces of equipment used in the production of TCCA. Both the restoration/rebuild of the operation destroyed by the fire, as well as the expansion of Plant 5, are expected to be complete in the time frame listed (completion target date May 2022).
