Bio-Lab Incorporated Selects Engineer for Expansion in Louisiana

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Bio-Lab Incorporated (Lawrenceville, Georgia), a subsidiary of Great Lakes Chemicals Corporation, is planning to expand its blending and compaction capacity at the Westlake, Louisiana, plant starting in the Summer of 2006. ENGlobal Engineering Incorporated (Lake Charles, Louisiana) has been chosen to provide engineering and assist with planning and scheduling for the project.

Bio-Lab expects engineering to be complete and to receive authorization for expenditure from the corporate office by Spring 2005. Construction is planned to begin Summer 2005, and will potentially duplicate an existing dry solids handling system already in use at the company's plant no. 4, located at the Westlake site. Bio-Lab produces Trichloroisocyanuric acid and other isocyanurates at this site.

With an estimated total investment value (TIV) of nearly $15 million, this project represents one of the largest projects reported by Industrialinfo.com at the Westlake site. Industrialinfo.com has reported eight different capital and maintenance projects at this site in the last decade, as part of its North American Industrial Database.
