Project Detail
Molten Salt Extraction
Performed the extraction of molten salt from operational equipment scheduled for replacement, ensuring the safe and efficient removal of the high-temperature material. The process involved using specialized tools and techniques to transfer the molten salt into airtight, thermally-resistant storage tanks.
Overview
Hamilton Kent needed to replace critical production equipment—but with a complication. The existing machinery contained molten salt operating at extreme temperatures, a hazardous material that couldn't simply be discarded and repurchased.
GO2 Mechanical was brought in to handle what most contractors won't touch: the safe extraction, secure storage, and precise reintroduction of molten salt during the equipment changeover.
Working with purpose-built extraction tools and strict thermal safety protocols, our team removed the material from the existing equipment without incident. The molten salt was transferred to engineered storage tanks designed to maintain its integrity and temperature until the new equipment was ready.
Once Hamilton Kent's team completed the machinery installation, we returned to reintroduce the stored material—verifying temperatures, managing fill levels, and performing system integrity checks to ensure everything was operating correctly.
The project was completed with zero safety incidents and minimal production disruption, enabling Hamilton Kent to return to full capacity on schedule. It's the kind of specialized, high-stakes work that demonstrates what GO2 Mechanical is built for.
