Dyno Nobel announces DEF expansion
Dyno Nobel, a subsidiary of Incitec Pivot Ltd., announced today its plans to continue investment into manufacturing diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Utilizing its existing plants, the company expects to have two of its North American manufacturing facilities dispatching DEF in bulk by third quarter 2013. DEF production will be expanded at Dyno Nobel’s St. Helens,Ore., plant and introduced at its Cheyenne, Wyo. plant.
Once expansion activities are complete, St. Helens will offer increased production capacity, additional storage (with two new 100,000 gallon tanks) and improved truck and railcar loading facilities. New capacity will be available by the end of fourth quarter 2012.
The company is also making capital investments to introduce the production capability to manufacture DEF at Cheyenne. The project incorporates two 100,000 gallon storage tanks and both truck and railcar loading capability and is anticipated to be completed by third quarter 2013.
"This new capacity will certainly be welcomed by the DEF market” said Chris Telschow, Dyno Nobel Industrial Chemicals Sales Manager. “Our high quality product and excellent loading capability continues to attract significant interest from DEF customers within our region."
