HOUSTON — Merichem Co. has launched the Ride-Tight® Fluid Sealing Management Program for its railcar fleet as an added improvement to its existing environmental stewardship procedures. In partnership with VSP Technologies and Carolina Seal Inc., Merichem’s application of the Ride-Tight program brings further management and control of railcar fluid sealing products.
Prior to joining the program, Merichem worked with VSP Technologies and Carolina Seal who developed a series of gaskets and O-rings specifically designed to work with Merichem’s products and railcars. Merichem also developed the necessary guidelines to ensure proper Ride-Tight fluid sealing practices for its entire fleet at terminals and customer sites. Merichem has retrofitted nearly 30 percent of its railcar fleet and plans to complete the process as part of its normal maintenance activities.
