Overview
Mid America Service Solutions provides specialized industrial services tailored to meet the needs of ethanol production facilities. Ethanol plants operate in high-heat, high-moisture, and chemically aggressive environments, making ongoing maintenance critical for safety and uptime.
Our team supports ethanol producers with a comprehensive suite of services—including abrasive blasting, silo inspections, and tank inspections—designed to extend equipment life and prevent costly failures. From protective tank linings to polyurea coatings, we deliver results built for long-term performance in this highly regulated industry.
Our Primary Services
- Linings & Containment: Chemical-resistant tank linings, silo linings, and secondary containment.
- Integrity Testing: Tank inspections, silo inspections, and ultrasonic thickness testing.
- Surface Prep: Abrasive blasting, sandblasting, and precision dry ice blasting.
- Industrial Floors: Epoxy flooring, urethane concrete, and chemical-resistant topcoats.
- Protective Coatings: Polyurea, polyaspartic, and high-heat urethane systems.
Specialized Biofuel Infrastructure Solutions
Ethanol Tank Linings & Inspections
Tank linings and professional tank inspections play a vital role in protecting processing and storage systems from corrosion and chemical attack. Ethanol and its byproducts can be extremely harsh on bare steel and concrete.
- Chemical Safeguards: We install high-performance tank linings and silo linings designed to resist chemical exposure and prevent leaks.
- Proactive Oversight: Our thorough silo inspections and tank assessments identify early signs of coating failure or structural weakening before they escalate into environmental risks or unplanned shutdowns.
Durable Epoxy & Urethane Flooring
Constant exposure to moisture and heavy equipment quickly breaks down unprotected concrete. Our industrial epoxy flooring systems create seamless, slip-resistant surfaces that protect your facility's foundation.
- Erosion Protection: These floors prevent chemical intrusion and cracking in pump rooms, processing zones, and maintenance areas.
- Enhanced Safety: By utilizing polyaspartic or urethane topcoats, we improve traction and sanitation in high-traffic production areas.
Corrosion Defense & Industrial Coatings
High humidity and temperature fluctuations can rapidly degrade unprotected metal. Our coating services defend piping, steel framing, and processing equipment from premature failure.
- Advanced Polymers: We apply polyurea and polyaspartic coatings that shield assets from rust and chemical corrosion.
- Surface Prep Excellence: Utilizing abrasive blasting or dry ice blasting, we ensure a clean substrate for maximum coating adhesion and visibility.
Precision Cleaning with Dry Ice Blasting
To maintain reliability without introducing moisture into sensitive production areas, we provide dry ice blasting for equipment and machinery.!
- Non-Abrasive: Ideal for cleaning sensitive components, electrical housings, and high-precision production systems.
- Zero Residue: Because dry ice sublimates, it reduces cleanup time during critical maintenance windows or shutdowns.
