Surplus assets shouldn’t consume your team’s time and attention. Yet managing valuations, negotiations, dismantling and sales pulls focus from core operations while equipment sits idle. Louisiana Chemical Equipment Company (LCEC) takes the burden off your plate with our services — handling every detail so you can recover capital and refocus on what matters.

LCEC’s Full Asset Life Cycle Services

Beyond our extensive inventory of process equipment, LCEC provides expert, hands-on services. Here’s how we can help manage the entire life cycle of your industrial assets.

Strategic Consulting and Studies

Sound financial decisions start with accurate data and market intelligence. LCEC offers strategic analysis services such as equipment availability searches, pricing studies and plant reuse and modification studies.

These insights give you a clear, data-driven strategy before you commit capital. That helps you understand market conditions, identify opportunities and make informed choices that align with your operational and financial goals.

Professional Equipment Appraisals

Whether you’re working with lenders, bankruptcy trustees or facility owners, understanding the true market value of your assets is essential for sound planning. LCEC provides formal appraisal services for used industrial equipment and complete used plants. These give you credible, defensible valuations backed by decades of market knowledge and real-world transaction experience across the chemical processing industry.

Flexible Purchasing and Sales

LCEC offers multiple pathways to turn surplus assets into revenue based on your timeline and goals. Direct sales provide immediate capital when you need it quickly. For clients focused on maximizing long-term returns, joint venture and consignment arrangements allow you to strategically sell used plant equipment, capturing the best market value over time while we handle marketing and negotiations.

Plant Dismantling and Removal

Decommissioning projects require precision, safety and deep industry expertise. LCEC handles the physical complexities of dismantling used industrial plants and removing equipment — whether for scrap or reuse. Our match-marking ensures every component is labeled and tracked to make reassembly straightforward and to reduce risk during relocation or storage. We manage the entire process with safety protocols that protect your team and your assets.

Asset Inventory Management

Keeping track of surplus assets shouldn’t be a headache or drain on your resources. LCEC’s inventory management services include on-site field inspections, vendor data review and the creation of a computerized asset database. You’ll have a precise, organized record of what you own, where it’s located and its condition. It gives you complete visibility and control over your surplus inventory.
