Chemicals

Chemical and Petrochemical plants are asset intensive and are highly dependent on commodity pricing dynamics. Knowledge in both of these areas are a must when appraising plants in the Chemical Industry.

Chemical plant valuation benefits from an engineering orientated approach by assessing the complex footprint of each asset-intensive plant and understanding the nuances of the technology being utilized. Such large industrial facilities rely primarily on petroleum-based feedstocks to produce a wide range of chemical products and polymers for both industrial and commercial applications. The complexity of each site creates unique chemical plant valuation challenges and appraisers must understand not only the petroleum (feed stock) markets, but also the market in which each facility sells its products.

evcValuation has extensive experience in chemical plant valuation, particularly for large chemical facilities in various markets across the United States. In chemical plant valuation projects, our ASA-accredited team focuses on the production and revenue potential, as well as the supply chain and logistical efficiency, and other elements that have an effect on the facility’s value.

I’ve partnered with Kevin Reilly and evcValuation on some of the most complex valuation assignments in the country, including nuclear power plants, cogeneration facilities, wind and solar farms, battery storage sites, and more. In every instance, evcValuation brings an unparallelled level of expertise and integrity to the table.

What makes Kevin such a powerful and credible witness isn’t just his knowledge or meticulous preparation—it’s that he is never an advocate for his client. He is an advocate for the right value. Commitment to objectivity is evcValuation’s “secret sauce” and why juries and judges find them so credible. Kevin’s objectivity allows him to maintain an even demeanor in deposition or on the witness stand under the most rigorous examination.

When it comes to valuation of complex properties, evcValuation is the best in the business. There are a number of appraisers who write excellent reports, and there are several who tell a good story. evcValuation is one of the very few who do both. Their work is consistently thorough, defensible, and rooted in a deep understanding of appraisal theory, the subject property, and the market. When the stakes are high, you need the best in your corner, which is why evcValuation is our first call.
