Module assembly continues to advance on PureCycle Technologies first-of-a-kind ultra-pure recycled (UPR) Plant.

Since our last update, pipe racks for four modules are nearing completion with pipe insulation now being installed. Two other process modules have equipment installed and instrument and electrical installation is underway followed by steam control trace and piping insulation.

The remaining modules are being prepped for steel erection with equipment is arriving on-site regularly to be installed into module steel structures. Module piping fabrication and installation are ramping up quickly as steel structures are readied for the continuation of module assembly.

We are excited to see all the progress being made as this project comes to life.

Koch Modular has recently been awarded a multi-year Master Services Agreement (MSA) from PureCycle Technologies, LLC (PureCycle) to supply modular recycling systems.

Under the agreement, Koch Modular will supply the modularly constructed polypropylene recycling systems, starting with PureCycle’s newest facility in Augusta, Georgia. Future projects will include both domestic and international sites. Dustin Olson, Chief Manufacturing Officer at PureCycle, states “the goal is one billion pounds of like-new, ultra-pure recycled plastic production capacity, and with Koch Modular, I am confident that we will succeed.”

Over the last six years PureCycle and Koch Modular have worked together building rapport and reaching common goals. “Working alongside PureCycle on the Ironton Feedstock Evaluation Unit and multiple commercial-scale projects demonstrates our continued commitment to supporting PureCycle’s disruptive technology,” said Brian Loftus, Vice President of Koch Modular Process Systems. “This agreement opens up more possibilities to address the global need for an environmentally responsible plastics lifecycle.”

This MSA not only continues to address the global need to transform plastic waste into a renewable resource, but reflects PureCycle’s confidence in Koch Modular’s capabilities and deepening relationship.

A Modular Approach to Plastic Recycling: Project Update – Module assembly continues to advance on a PureCycle Technologies first-of-a-kind ultra-pure recycled (UPR) Plant.  A lot has happened since our last project update in January.  With steel completed on the first series of modules, installation of vessels is proceeding on schedule.

PureCycle Technologies engaged Koch Modular at an early stage to develop a demonstration scale system and upon successfully proving technology, has commenced engineering and modularization of PureCycle’s first commercial plant.

Once completed, this plant is expected to produce over 105 million pounds of ultra-pure recycled (UPR) resin per year, which will be used in consumer goods packaging, home furnishings, and other applications that currently have very limited options for recycled polypropylene today.

Make sure to follow Koch Modular to receive periodic project updates and watch this plant come to life.

Koch Modular provides extraction and distillation technology in support of greenfield Re-Refinery project for Recycling Used Motor Oil to Produce Higher Grade Base Oils. “The extraction step principally removes color bodies and improves certain physical properties, such as viscosity,” says @Wendy Parker, vice president of process engineering and pilot testing at KMPS.

Front-end engineering design (FEED) is underway for a facility designed to de-contaminate and upgrade used motor oil from passenger vehicles into a higher-value product mix of base oils than is currently possible with existing motor-oil recycling processes, and in a way that lowers capital and operating costs compared to current processes.

The project is being undertaken by RegenIII, a technology developer focused on re-refining used motor oils, and is supported by Koch Modular Process Systems, which developed extraction and distillation technologies used in the process and will ultimately deliver modularized pre-fabricated process systems to the site.

Koch Modular Process Systems announced it will be participating in a joint team lead by sister company Koch Project Solutions in support of ReGen III Oil Corporation (Gen III) project to build a new re-refinery located in the U.S. Gulf Coast (“USGC”). Koch Modular will be supporting the design, engineering and delivery of modular process systems to be installed within ReGen III’s new USGC re-refinery.

Upon completion of detailed design, construction, commissioning, and start-up, this new USGC re-refinery facility will clean and process approximately 78 million gallons of used motor oils per year. By doing so, ReGen III advances the circular economy making higher and better use of the materials present in the market and directly offsetting the need for virgin materials. “We are honored to be part of this innovative re-refinery project with ReGen III that will be a game-changer for the way future used motor oils are cleaned and re-processed,” said George J. Schlowsky, president of Koch Modular Process Systems. “Not only are we excited to bring our knowledge and expertise to the table, but we believe that together we are making more efficient use of resources to create additional value in society,” Schlowsky added.
