First U.S. Location for French Firm
French-based DRT selected the Savannah, Georgia area to locate its first United States processing plant. This grassroots facility, located on 60-acres, is capable of processing 25,000 metric tons per year of crude sulfate turpentine into alphapinene, beta-pinen, dipentene, desulfurized alpha pinene and myrcene. This is achieved through a series of distillation separation systems. Raw materials arrive in bulk by train and finished product is shipped in bulk by iso-tanks or in drums in its containers.
Project Scope
Carroll Daniel Engineering’s engagement included a Phase One study (FEL 3) consisting of a feasibility study to provide DRT with preliminary design documents, a funding cost estimate for engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), and start-up/commissioning services, and regulatory assessment to determine the permitting requirements for the facility.
