Monolith MEPI
Fagen, Inc. was the EPC contractor for a state-of-the-art carbon black & hydrogen facility in Hallam, Nebraska. The facility was built for Monolith Materials LLC, whose proprietary plasma process for carbon black production is more environmentally friendly than other means of carbon black production. The facility will initially produce 14,000 tons of carbon black per year, with a future goal of 220,000 ton per year. Carbon black is used to enhance many products, including rubber products, plastics, coatings and adhesives, toners and inks, and batteries. The hydrogen byproduct will be transported via pipeline to Nebraska Public Power District’s (NPPD) Sheldon Station, where it will be used to create clean, affordable energy for the citizens of Nebraska. The facility is located just outside of Hallam and sits on approximately 10 acres. Fagen was originally responsible for mechanical, electrical, pipe, instrumentation and structural scopes, and took over concrete early on in the project.
