Minnesota Soybean Processors is a membership cooperative that owns and operates a soybean crush facility and refinery. The facility provides soybean oil to food processors, as well as glycerin and biodiesel as commodity chemicals to other industries.
EAD performed the unloading and repair of a field fabricated storage tank that had been subjected to fire damage.
EAD was engaged by the client to return a damaged tank to safe service after the fire incident. Leading a team of experts in management of waste material and tank construction, EAD was able to unload the tank of approximately 500,000 gallons of crude sludge to ready the tank for repair.
In the repair segment, safety was the primary concern. EAD developed multiple procedures specific to the job to mitigate both personnel and process incidents. Extensive structural and civil repairs were necessary, and were executed safely.
The EAD team hit the mark when the return-to-service deadline allowed the client pre-sell product.
