The engine of the chemical process

In the last fifteen years, LAIEX has undertaken an important expansion in all its chemical plants as well as in its laboratories, with the objective of continuing to attend our clients’ technical and supply needs with seriousness, quality and rigor.

Circular economy

LAIEX’s commitment to the Circular Economy, with the optimization of the resources present in the entire value chain of the Company, includes:

Energy efficiency.
Integration of steam networks that feed the reactors.
Reuse of water resources.
Commitment to recycling containers.
Transformation of waste products and services.
Engineering plant projects for continuous improvement.

General Equipment Efficiency

The implementation of the O.E.E. (Overall Equipment Effectiveness or General Equipment Efficiency) at LAIEX, has allowed us to achieve a comprehensive cost analysis and quality control for each product manufactured so as to achieve excellence.

These data allow us to standardize manufacturing procedures and continuous improvement in our chemical plants, obtaining monthly operational and performance analysis of our production lines.

In addition, the annual forecasts for the improvement of the OEE index allow us to estimate the needs of personnel, materials, equipment, services, etc. in the annual planning.

Aforesaid automation of plants and online quality control during production processes allows us to obtain high performance and repeatability in our emulsions.

As a connected 4.0 industry, we can integrate information and knowledge systems, based on collaborative networks. A more efficient and optimized management of our value chain.

Connected industry

The large investment made in digital transformation in our three chemical plants entails a data record for each of the productive phases: reception of raw material, production, transfers, commercialization … and its constant evaluation in terms of efficiency.

We have facilities classified as ATEX (EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES) so we have implemented smoke and fire detection systems, as well as an automatic safety system for when a reaction is not under control in order to interrupt it (HYDROQUINONE).

Regarding the self-protection plans, they are equipped with intervention and evacuation teams as well as a whole series of measures, so that in case of emergency we are able to act as soon as possible.

With all this, we intend to be more effective, more efficient, more environmentally friendly and more solidary to become a leading company in the chemical industry.
