We hope you’ll enjoy learning more about our long-time member Texas Refinery Corp, located in Fort Worth, Texas. TRC has shown a real commitment to innovation over its many years of operation. We’re proud to feature their company in this month’s edition of the NLGI Member Spotlight.
It was the summer of 2012 when the construction of a new TRC plant was first envisioned. Now 4 years later that vision has become a reality in Mansfield, Texas. TRC has built the Nation’s newest Grease/Oil Manufacturing Plant. From the very beginning, TRC had four key goals in mind during the design phase. The first goal was to ensure the new facility could build the Superior Quality Products to which TRC customers had come to expect since 1922. The second goal was for TRC to design a facility with the inherent flexibility to build tomorrow’s products. The third TRC goal was to build a facility that respected and protected
our environment by being ECO Friendly. And, finally, the fourth goal was to build the safest facility possible so as to protect TRC employees and the surrounding community. TRC ownership and management well understood that the decision to build a new plant would represent a massive undertaking. Much of the safety, technological and process requirements necessary to meet today’s strict Federal, State and Local code and environmental standards did not exist prior to the beginning of construction…which makes where TRC is now even more amazing. TRC knew it would take special expertise to meet these challenges, but where does a company turn for
such expertise? Who could aid TRC and its General Contractor, Systems Integration, Inc., in designing and building such a World-Class facility? Early in the process, it wasn’t a surprise that TRC reached out to numerous NLGI members for needed guidance. For the design and fabrication of grease kettles, TRC called upon Patterson Industries, the premiere manufacturer of grease kettles worldwide, and a long time NLGI member. To help TRC overcome key technical design, environmental and safety challenges, TRC sought out the services of another long-time NLGI member, Mr. Dick Burkhalter and his Company…Covenant Engineering Services, LLC.
