About Powell

Making Chemical Processes Better®… Since 1964

For more than half a century, Powell has provided custom chemical production and processing equipment and services to chemical processors, distributors, toll blenders, contract packagers, and end-users around the globe.  With sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) production and chlorine (Cl2) processing equipment at its core, customers rely on Powell’s equipment and services to efficiently produce and transfer a broad array of chemicals and blends for a variety of industrial, municipal, and consumer uses.

History of Powell

Powell Fabrication & Manufacturing LLC in St. Louis, Michigan was founded in 1964 by Clarence and Evelyn Powell. In the early 1970’s, Clarence and Evelyn’s son, Duane, joined the management team and eventually became president in the mid 1990’s. Under Duane’s leadership, Powell expanded in size and geographic reach by adding a variety of ancillary equipment used in conjunction with its core Sodium Hypochlorite Production Systems. In the early 2000’s, Powell expanded its product portfolio with state-of-the-art continuous chemical blending and dilution systems that today can automatically and accurately meter over a dozen raw material streams, emergency valve closure systems, and more.

In 2016, Duane sadly passed and Powell ownership transitioned to his lead management team representing each of the company’s critical functions. Credentials of management and staff include a blend of education and experience: MBAs, BAs, BSs, CPAs, and PEs, with numerous certifications. Engineering and Production Team members, many of whom have been with the company their entire professional careers, have an unprecedented level of experience and expertise to identify customized chemical processing solutions around the world.

Powell is well-known and respected in the global Chlor Alkali industry with customers in over 40 countries. Our technologies consist of a host of proprietary and patented processes custom designed and developed to meet each customer’s specific needs. These processes include sodium hypochlorite production, where in North America, our equipment produces approximately 80% of its bleach. We also developed a full line of filtering, chemical blending and dilution systems, scrubbing systems, control systems, transfer systems, air treatment systems, and emergency valve closure systems.

Finally, we support our equipment with a full line of parts and accessories, while services include custom engineering, commissioning, special financing, extended warranties, and 24/7 global field engineering and technical service.
