Document Description
Boxer Industries proposes to construct a pilot plant industrial facility that would utilize pipeline grade natural gas and grid electricity through a proprietary process to produce sample quantities of carbon black as well as hydrogen. Carbon black is a material that is used as a reinforcing agent in nearly all black rubber and plastic products. The proposed project would be located on approximately 0.6 acres (about 26,000 sf), which would include 5,000 sf pilot industrial facility and an office trailer. The pilot plant would be partially assembled prior to delivery and installation at the project site. It would be delivered via semi-trailer on 3 skids, each approximately 12 feet by 12 feet. The plant would be constructed above a new pier-supported foundation pad and would be about 30 feet tall once fully assembled.
