The former Electrolysis Sodium Dichromate chemical manufacturing unit was built in the late 1990’s with production ceasing in 2002. The plant contained a number of raw and finished chemicals within the tanks, vessels, kiln and pipework as well as a number of LIVE electrical and mechanical equipment that fed other parts of the site.
The decommissioning phase comprised of the following activities:
- Removal and clean out of the EDCS kiln
- Removal and decontamination of residual chemicals
- Isolations and Disconnections of all services
- Re-routing of LIVE services
The decommissioning phase of this project were carried out without any accidents or incidents and no disruption to manufacturing activities.
