RayDaddy,
Just a little extra engineering info from your favorite (Lipsey man) here in El Do.
We (my company) are getting geared up for a pretty good expansion/revamp in fine chemicals...this unit produces MeCL (methyle bromide)...crop protection, to be completed by year-end. Supposedly, crop prot chems are still going to be produced by Chemtura for the time being.
As well, the pilot plant I worked on a few months back is producing a new product for another (local) buyer/producer, with hopes of another new plant down the road. Don't know the tech aspects of the new product (was told they'd have to kill me if they told me :) ), but all tests on the first few batches were good and promsing.
One other note...Tetra is in full swing gearing up to start buying product from Chemtura for production. My son recently went to work for them and tells of an excellent outfit with alot of promise and a bright future in partners with Chemtura...looks like a continuing long-term relationship.
