Tyrone, Pennsylvania

Albemarle’s Tyrone facility is located on a 120 acre site on Adams Avenue in the small town of Tyrone, Pennsylvania and employs over 180 people. The site is ISO-9002 and ISO-14001 certified and has an excellent safety record.

Flexibility is the hallmark of the Tyrone site. Production capabilities range from kilo-lab scale through hundreds of metric tons per year. With over 30 reactors, ranging in size from 30 gallons through 4000 gallons, various materials of construction, and almost every unit operation available, the site is especially equipped for complex, multi-step synthesis. Chemistries of all types are performed and quick turnaround is a key area of expertise of the site. Flexibility is enhanced by the site’s synthetic minor air permit that eliminates permitting delays and our on-site waste treatment system for removing organic contaminants from wastewater.
