Production
Production is carried out at the Company's
two-plant complex located near the Port of Houston in the Greens
Bayou area, one mile from the Houston Ship Channel. The production
facility occupies 18 acres, and includes an office/lab, an area
for stockpiling raw material, grinding and classification processing
equipment, and two large drying systems.
The complex has the capability of shipping
product in palletized sacks of 50 to 100 pounds (22.7 to 50 kilograms),
in bulk bags ranging in weight from 1,000 to 4,000 pounds or more,
or in bulk. Domestic shipments are delivered by truck or rail.
Overseas orders are typically delivered in containers of any size
through the Port of Houston.

The onsite laboratory conducts quality assurance
tests on finished products, including particle size distribution
analysis and specific gravity. The lab also undertakes
R & D projects. New product application concepts are
normally tested experimentally at customers' facilities.
