Savannah, Ga.-Southern States Chemical Inc. (SSC), a Dulany Industries company, reports that its new Wilbara sulfuric acid plant became operational as of Dec. 15, 2010. Located at 4620 Hwy 421 North in Wilmington, N.C., SSC said Wilbara solidifies SSC’s position as the premier industrial producer/supplier of sulfuric acid on the East Coast. “The addition of the new Wilbara plant exemplifies Southern States Chemical’s commitment to our business, which is providing unsurpassed service, quality, and reliability to our customers,” said Key Compton, SSC president. “With this new plant, we are improving our environmental footprint while dramatically strengthening our overall supply capabilities.” SSC said the new plant, which has a capacity of 220,000 mt/y, produces three times as much as SSC’s existing acid plant in Wilmington while significantly reducing emissions. “I wish to thank all of the contractors, associates, and particularly the various Dulany team members for a job well done! The successful startup of the Wilbara facility represents a remarkable achievement for this company, which was successful only through an extraordinary amount of teamwork and focus by all involved,” said Reed Dulany, Dulany Industries president. Dulany Industries also has ties to dry and liquid bulk warehousing and terminal operations in Savannah, Ga. and Wilmington, N.C. Its other subsidiary is SeaGate Handling, Inc.
