Facility Expansion
New Isomerization Unit


New isomerization unit will provide more flexibility in converting C5 Normal Pentane into Isopentane.

 

In response to ever increasing global demand for its high quality Isopentane product, South Hampton Resources, Inc. has begun construction on a state of the art Isomerization Unit.  This process will convert high quality Normal Pentane product to Isopentane product.  This proven technology will help meet the additional demand on our 99.0% Isopentane, while maintaining or exceeding  the highest standards currently found in our product.    

The technology being employed in this process has been proven in various industrial applications.  In addition, South Hampton has completed extensive pilot plant studies.   Through extensive lab analyses from these pilot plant studies, as well as proven industrial applications, we have insured that we will meet or exceed our current specification for 99.0% Isopentane product.   In addition, we have insured that there will be no additional impurities in our Isopentane product, nor will the magnitude of current impurities see significant change.   As a final quality control measure, we will isolate the initial resulting addition to our isopentane stream,  as part of our startup strategy to further our laboratory verification of our world class isopentane product..  The isomerization product will be included in our Isopentane product for sale only after these final verifications are complete.

Completion of the major construction of our Isom unit is expected the first week in September, 2010.    We estimate the unit will be fully operational by mid to late September, 2010.   Our continued goal is quick response to Customer demand, while maintaining the highest quality product on the market.
