Processing plant quality testing
U.S. Borax refined borates are produced using a multi-step process that’s significantly more extensive than production of a “raw mineral” product—and more highly managed. Plant operations personnel employ quality management best practices to ensure consistency and quality of the products we produce.
At each stage, operations we collect samples for in-process analysis. The Quality Lab provides rapid analysis through titration testing—and delivers those results to operators on the processing line. Operators use that data in real time to adjust the process, prevent variation, and mitigate the risk that any sub-standard product reaches customers. A final sampling and analysis step is performed for every finished product.
