Client: American Aerogel
A specialty chemicals manufacturer experiencing rapid growth needed to expand production to meet rising demand for a proprietary insulation material. The facility operated 24/7 and required significant equipment and utility upgrades to boost throughput, recover process solvents, and maintain quality.
