Terminally Successful - Blackmer® Pump Technologies Drastically Reduces Scale-to-Scale Time at 3 Rivers Terminal

From Blackmer

It's not quite as dramatic as a pioneer looking to the horizon and seeing the entire West laid out in front of him, but when Glenn Gibisch surveys the landscape at 3 Rivers Terminal, which is located in Joliet, IL, and operated by industrial chemical packager and distributor Seeler Industries, he can easily envision a limitless future for his company and customers.

Gibisch is executive vice president and COO for 3 Rivers, which rests on 123 acres of industrial territory near Chicago. The terminal-currently consisting of 17 storage and 15 blend tanks used in the storage, handling and packaging of mostly hydrogen peroxide, but also caustics, amines, glycerin propylene, glycol and chemical deicers-was the brainchild of Seeler Industries nearly 30 years ago, when the company was primarily a distributor of hydrogen peroxide.
