Over $63K in equipment, worker hours, helps Nunez Community College

On the historic campus of Nunez Community College in Chalmette, Louisiana, an aging methanol plant used for the instruction of students pursuing process technology degrees just got a much needed face-lift.

This pint sized “refinery” gives students hands-on experience and training that simulates what it’s like to work at real-world petrochemical or manufacturing plants. The decades-old facility was improved and upgraded with the help of Chalmette Refining, ControlWorks, Magnetrol, Tech-Quip and Brown & Root, so students can continue to learn how to use the same types of equipment that they will encounter in their future jobs at refineries or manufacturing plants.
