Turnkey Process Systems for Chemical Manufacturing & Processing
At IAC, we design, engineer, and build complete process systems that chemical manufacturers depend on for compliance, uptime, and performance. As a fully integrated EPC contractor and original equipment manufacturer (OEM), we deliver air pollution control, pneumatic conveying, bulk material handling, and industrial drying systems built to handle the most demanding chemical processing environments.
Whether your facility is producing inorganic chemicals, specialty compounds, or petrochemical derivatives, IAC provides single-source accountability from design through commissioning—ensuring your systems meet strict environmental regulations and operate with maximum efficiency.
Industry Challenges in Chemical Processing
Chemical manufacturing presents a unique set of engineering, safety, and compliance demands. From corrosive gas streams to fine particulate capture, your process systems must perform reliably—often in high-temperature, high-moisture, and abrasive conditions—while meeting evolving regulatory standards.
Key challenges facing chemical producers include:
- Regulatory Compliance – Meeting stringent EPA, NESHAP, and local air quality requirements for SO₂, SO₃, HCl, HF, particulate matter, and other hazardous emissions.
- Hazardous Dust & Fume Control – Safely capturing and containing fine, reactive, or toxic particulates generated during processing, blending, and material transfer.
- Corrosion & Abrasion Resistance – Selecting materials and coatings that withstand aggressive chemical vapors, acidic gases, and abrasive solids.
- Material Handling Efficiency – Ensuring reliable pneumatic or mechanical conveying for powders, catalysts, and intermediates without product loss or contamination.
- Downtime Minimization – Executing maintenance, retrofits, or expansions within tight shutdown windows to protect production schedules.
IAC designs solutions that directly address these operational and compliance challenges, integrating the right technology, materials, and controls for each application.
IAC’s Turnkey Solutions for Chemical Manufacturers
IAC delivers fully integrated EPC + OEM solutions for chemical industry facilities, combining in-house engineering, fabrication, and construction to reduce schedule risk, control costs, and ensure seamless system integration. Our approach eliminates the inefficiencies of multiple vendors—providing single-source accountability from initial design through commissioning.
Core Capabilities for the Chemicals Industry
Air Pollution Control Systems
M-Pulse Jet, Reverse Air, and stainless steel baghouses engineered for corrosive and high-temperature service. Optional PTFE membrane or specialty filter media for hazardous or sticky dust streams.
Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) Systems
Permanent or mobile solutions for acid gas mitigation, including SO₂, SO₃, HCl, and HF removal, with integrated sorbent storage and injection controls.
Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Dense and dilute phase conveying for bulk powders, catalysts, and resin materials, designed to minimize degradation and contamination.
Drying Systems
Direct- and indirect-fired rotary dryers, as well as low-temperature drying solutions for sensitive or volatile materials.
Bulk Storage & Loadout
Welded and bolted silos, domes, hoppers, and fully automated truck/rail loadout systems for bulk material handling.
Automated Controls & MCCs
Motor Control Centers, PLC systems, and remote monitoring with IAC Smart Plant™ for real-time system performance and diagnostics.
By combining proven process equipment with deep chemical industry experience, IAC designs systems that not only meet regulatory compliance but also improve uptime, throughput, and operational safety.
Equipment for Harsh Chemical Environments
Chemical manufacturing facilities often operate under extreme process conditions—corrosive gases, high temperatures, abrasive solids, or explosive dusts. IAC engineers and fabricates equipment to perform reliably in these environments while protecting operators, product quality, and plant uptime.
Built for Durability and Safety
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Stainless steel (304L, 316L), high-nickel alloys, and specialty coatings for acid gas and caustic environments.
- High-Temperature Capabilities – Baghouse and ductwork designs rated for elevated process temperatures, with insulation and heat-resistant filter media.
- Explosion Protection – NFPA-compliant designs with explosion panels, isolation valves, and spark detection to mitigate combustible dust risks.
- Specialized Filtration Media – PTFE membranes, fiberglass, and pleated filters for fine, sticky, or chemically reactive dusts.
- Abrasion-Resistant Components – Wear-resistant liners and robust internal flighting in dryers and conveyors for handling abrasive powders and granules.
Every IAC system is custom-engineered to the specific chemical process, ensuring compatibility with the material properties, safety requirements, and compliance targets of your operation.
