CONCEPT OF STAGED DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Concentration revolves around the workshop area, explosion-protected spatial solutions and structures, as well as internal engineering systems including a ventilation system, all in an effort to continuously allow increasing plant capacity by installing new lines and additional units.
SAFETY FIRST
Technological process safety is provided for different solvents in the vapor control system. In the event that vapor exceeds the permissible level, the system will automatically shut down the equipment, power on backup fans and sound an alarm. All industrial and laboratory facilities, in addition to units and equipment installed there, are operated with due consideration of the requirements of fire and explosion provisions, and if necessary, antistatic coatings are applied.
PERFECT QUALITY
In an effort to achieve the most flawless quality of production, particular attention is paid to the end-to-end measurements, which begin with each raw material batch delivered to the plant and unloaded in a buffer zone. At the point after sample testing has been performed and quality control laboratory approval is given, these raw materials are then distributed to the allocated storage areas. Following laboratory approval, the packaging process gets under way. This full process and laboratory approval ensures that the product meets all necessary quality criteria in accordance with ISO.
REACTION TO GLOBAL MARKET CHANGES
Due to the sharp rise in prices for construction materials during the world economic crisis in 2008, at the client’s request, investigation and selection of similar but economical materials to identical technical characteristics and quality were performed. This important research made it possible to follow the originally-approved construction budget without any reduction to the external appearance, technical characteristics or quality of the facility.
