EPIC Systems’ engineering team helped the client design a modular ion exchange chemical pilot plant to upgrade a proprietary process to the commercial level. The system was fabricated by EPIC in a short project schedule due to a customer-specified timeline. A highly corrosive acid was the main component of the system. To meet the industrial grade requirements of the client, EPIC used a variety of atypical materials in the fabrication of the pilot plant. Hastelloy and Teflon lined lines and other piping specifications were used throughout, along with fiberglass tanks. PVC and Teflon lined piping required custom built flanges by EPIC due to tight tolerance specifications. The highly corrosive nature of the material, combined with the low flow rate demanded installation of unique flow
