PEARLAND, Texas, May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Third Coast, a chemical contract manufacturer
located in the Texas Gulf Coast, announced plans to expand
its Pearland, Texas
operations including expanding operating hours, increased
distillation capacity, an additional plant access point, and a
major rail expansion.
Third Coast begins Pearland Operations
Expansion, adding 24/7 loading, unloading, and blending
activities.
Beginning in June 2024, Third
Coast's Pearland, TX site will
expand operating hours to 7 days per week/12 hours per day for bulk
operations. The expanded hours are in response to customer demand
requiring more capacity for loading, unloading, and blending
activities. Currently, the site's reaction chemistry operation runs
24/7, and the expanded hours in bulk operations are the next step
in working toward 24/7 operations plant wide.
To support the market demand for Gulf Coast manufacturing, Third
Coast is adding a 10-stage batch distillation column. The carbon
steel unit will have a capacity of 26K gallons (94 MT) and will be commissioned in
Q3 2024, bringing the total number of reactors onsite to ten.
Additionally, Third Coast will begin construction on a new
entrance into the facility, Gate 3, which will be completed first
quarter of 2025. The addition of Gate 3 will decrease congestion at
the existing entry and exit points allowing carriers to move more
efficiently through the plant.
Third Coast also announced a massive rail expansion inside the
plant's limits to accommodate increased demand for inbound and
outbound rail movements. Third Coast will add 40 railcar spots
inside their fence line to be completed Q2 2025. Following this
expansion, Third Coast will have space for over 125 railcars on
site.
"We are extremely excited to announce this expansion." said
Jim Clawson, CEO and Founder of
Third Coast. "Our Pearland Operations remain a cornerstone of
Third Coast's manufacturing base, and these investments will allow
us to continue serving the fast-growing US Gulf Coast Chemical
Industry."
