As we enter 2026, case management is poised at a pivotal moment. Artificial intelligence and digital health platforms are redefining workflows. Flexible work and stronger compensation models are becoming standard expectations. And the profession is doubling down on whole-person care, health equity, and workforce sustainability.

Here are the key trends to watch, and how they will shape the future of case management in the year ahead.

1. Workforce Demographics & Talent Shortages

Case management is entering 2026 with a growing talent gap. Demand continues to rise, yet retirements and career shifts are steadily reducing the number of experienced professionals. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for case managers and related roles is projected to grow steadily through the decade, outpacing available supply. This imbalance leaves healthcare organizations under pressure to maintain patient-centered care with fewer resources.

Without strategic action, the shortage will deepen. Leaders who recognize the urgency now will be better positioned to stabilize their teams and protect care quality in the years ahead.

2. Demand, Compensation & Flexible Work

The competition for case management talent is intensifying. By 2026, competitive pay will be only the baseline. Organizations that want to stand out will need to combine strong compensation with professional growth opportunities, training and mentorship, and a culture of flexibility.

Remote and hybrid work are no longer “nice to have” options, they are the new standard. Expanding these models gives healthcare systems access to a broader talent pool while helping case managers achieve better work–life balance. Forward-looking employers will treat flexibility not just as a benefit, but as a cornerstone of workforce strategy.

3. Technology Integration & AI Support

Case management now relies on technology as a core element of its practice. Artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and digital health platforms are enabling earlier risk detection, smarter triage, and more adaptive care plans.

In 2026, we can expect AI-powered decision support to move further into the mainstream, reducing bias in care recommendations and giving case managers better tools for patient advocacy. At the same time, digital platforms will help sustain hybrid and remote care delivery, ensuring that case managers remain fully connected across teams and patient populations.

4. Focus on Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)

The future of case management is holistic. By 2026, addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) such as housing, food access, transportation, and employment will be a natural and essential part of care coordination.

Health systems are embedding SDOH screening into everyday workflows, supported by policy shifts and growing accountability for health equity. Initiatives like Healthy People 2030 continue to set national goals around reducing health disparities and strengthening equity-focused policies. Case managers will increasingly serve as the bridge between clinical care and community resources, ensuring that patients not only receive treatment but also gain the stability needed to achieve better long-term outcomes.

5. Training Standards & Succession Planning

Strengthening the case management workforce starts with long-term commitment to people and their growth. In 2026, the focus will turn toward building resilience within the profession through training, development and certification programs that give case managers the skills and support they need to succeed.

Succession planning will also take center stage, ensuring that as experienced professionals retire, the next generation is prepared to step confidently into leadership roles. Broader workforce studies in healthcare warn of persistent gaps by 2028, underscoring the urgency of preparing future leaders now. These strategies are not just about filling vacancies; they are about creating a sustainable foundation for the future of case management.

Conclusion

For healthcare organizations, 2026 offers an important opportunity to step forward. The year ahead is a chance to support case managers in new ways, from embracing technology and flexible work to addressing social needs and equity more directly. By investing in people and creating environments where case managers can thrive, organizations will not only strengthen their teams but also improve the patient experience.

It’s the “How”, Not Just the “What”

As HIM professionals we have the credentials. But what makes you memorable? It’s the stuff between the bullet points.

• Handling conflict with professionalism. We’ve all had disagreements. Instead of shying away from this topic, share a real story. Tell me about a time you didn’t see eye to eye with a colleague and how you listened, found common ground, and landed on a solution together. This shows you are transparent, collaborative, and results/solution oriented.
• Adapting to change. In our field, change is the only constant. New guidelines? Different employer policies? Bring it on. Have an example ready that shows you are not just adaptable, but you’re proactive about learning. This shows you are resilient and a lifelong learner.
• Balancing accuracy and speed. We all know the pressure of quality and productivity. Here’s a little secret: hiring managers know you’re not perfect. So if you really want to impress us, be honest and tell us about a time where you fell short and what you learned from it. Seriously, pretending you’ve never missed a target doesn’t help your case. Showing how you problem solve and bounce back? That’s worth it’s weight in gold.

Can You Communicate… Remotely?

A huge part of our world is now remote or hybrid. Employers need to know that you can not only do the work from your home office, but that you’ll stay connected, engaged, and communicative without a manager looking over your shoulder. Your interview is your first chance to prove you are a pro at remote work.

When you’re answering their questions:

• Mention the tools you have used successfully (Teams, Slack, Zoom, secure messaging) Show them you’re comfortable working in a digital space.
• Go beyond just saying you’re a good communicator. Tell us how you do it. How do you use all of the tools at your disposal to make sure nothing falls through the cracks? Maybe you’re the type to hop on a quick call to solve a complex discrepancy instead of letting emails drag on for days.
• Share a win you had while collaborating with a remote teammate. What’s one big lesson you’ve learned about what works (and what doesn’t) when you’re not face to face? 

Your Recruiter is Your Wingperson (Let them do their job)

When you’re interviewing with one of our partner clients through RCM Healthcare, here’s the deal: your recruiter handles the business side of things. That means questions about pay, benefits, and timelines come to us. Your ‘job’ in the interview is to build a real connection with the hiring manager and see if you love the role as much as we think you will. We’ll fight for you when it’s offer time.

Use your face time with the hiring manager to:

• Shine a spotlight on your experience and the value you bring
• Answer their questions about your background with confidence
• Ask questions that show you’re already thinking like part of the team
• Have a genuine conversation with the hiring manager about the team and organization

Focus on fit; let us handle the fine print. It’s a win-win.

Don’t Just Ask Questions – Ask Good Questions

You know it’s coming: Do you have any questions for us?  Do not be caught off guard. Coming prepared shows genuine interest in the role, and helps you interview them to see if it’s the right fit.

Ditch the generic stuff. Try questions like:

• Can you tell me about someone on your team who you consider a top performer? What is it about how they work that makes them so effective?
• How would you describe your management style, and what does a successful partnership look like with you?
• What do the first 30 days look like for someone in this role, and can you share what the expectations are within the first 30 days?
• What kind of training or support is there for professional development?
• What is the expected ramp-up time to full productivity, and how is feedback typically given?

These questions show you’re invested, and they give you the inside scoop you need to decide if it is the right fit for you.

Share Stories, Not Just Skills

Resumes list experience and skills. You bring them to life with stories. The easiest way to structure a great story is the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

Don’t say “I’m a problem solver.’ Tell me:

• Situation: “Our team was drowning in a claims backlog after a system upgrade.”
• Task: “I was tasked with leading the team to find the root cause of the coding errors and resolve them- fast.”
• Action: “I collaborated with IT and auditors to trace the issue and I created a simple cheat sheet with the corrected coding guidelines for the team.”
• Result: “We cleared the backlog within two weeks and reduced recurring errors by 20%.”

Stories are memorable. Facts are forgettable. Be memorable in your interview.

Professionalism Isn’t a Buzzword; It’s Your Reputation

We handle sensitive data every single day, and employers want to see that you understand the importance of confidentiality, compliance, and ethical responsibility.

Weave this into your conversation by:

• Talking naturally about how you protect PHI- it’s second nature to you.
• Mentioning your familiarity with HIPAA and other regulations not as a bullet point, but as a core part of your ethics.  
• Showing that integrity guides your decision-making

Your character is just as critical as your coding accuracy.

Be Prepared

Even seasoned professionals benefit from practice and writing things down. Practicing interview scenarios helps refine your answers, build confidence, and uncover areas you might not notice on your own. Writing down questions and notes to have in front of you can also help keep you on track so you don’t forget to hit certain talking points.  Practicing your stories out loud, and jotting down notes ensures you sound like the professional you are, not a nervous interviewee. Have a few key points written down is smart, not cheating.

At RCM Healthcare, our HIM team provides a 30-minute interview prep session ahead of client interviews. We role-play, fine-tune your responses, and ensure you feel confident walking into the conversation. It is our way of helping you shine and land the right opportunity. Consider us your personal prep coaches.

You’ve Got This

Landing your next great role in the HIM space is about showcasing the brilliant professional you are. It’s about preparation yes, but it’s also about being authentically you – adaptable, communicative, and thoroughly professional.

Walk into that interview ready to have a great conversation. You are more than your resume.

At RCM Thermal Kinetics, we specialize in custom-engineered crystallizer systems that deliver efficiency, scalability, and precise control. Among the various designs available, our expertise focuses on four proven categories: Evaporator Crystallizers, Draft Tube Crystallizers, Submerged Circulating Crystallizers, and Cooling Crystallizers. 

This article explains how each system works, the advantages they provide, and how RCM Thermal Kinetics tailors these technologies to client needs. 

What Is Crystallization? 

Crystallization is the process of forming solid crystals from a solution through supersaturation. Industrial crystallization plays a critical role in: 

• Pharmaceuticals – Producing APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) with precise particle size. 

• Chemicals – Manufacturing salts, fertilizers, and specialty chemicals. 

• Food & Beverage – Manufacturing sugar, dairy powders, and other food products. 

• Renewables – Recovering high-value compounds from bio-based feedstocks. 

Choosing the right crystallization equipment is essential for process efficiency, energy use, and crystal quality. 

Evaporator Crystallizers 

Evaporative crystallization increases solute concentration by evaporating the solvent. As the concentration rises, the solution becomes supersaturated, leading to nucleation and subsequent crystal growth. 

How It Works 

• Solvent evaporates under controlled heating. 

• Rising concentration triggers supersaturation. 

• Nucleation begins, followed by crystal growth. 

Advantages 

• Produces high-purity crystals. 

• Adaptable to a wide variety of materials. 

• Compatible with energy recovery and heat integration. 

RCM Expertise 

We engineer evaporator crystallizers for applications ranging from small specialty processes to full-scale bulk production, always designed for efficiency and consistent crystal size. 

Draft Tube Crystallizers  

Draft Tube Crystallizers are continuous vacuum evaporating systems that use a low-speed propeller to circulate solution upward through a draft tube. The mixture reaches the boiling surface where evaporation and supersaturation occur, then flows back downward. 

How It Works 

• A propeller drives solution through a draft tube. 

• Evaporation promotes supersaturation. 

• Controlled circulation minimizes wall deposition. 

Advantages 

• Suitable for small capacity applications. 

• Moderate control of crystal size and uniformity. 

• Reduced fouling from supercooling control. 

RCM Expertise 

We design draft tube crystallizers to optimize circulation, minimize scaling, and maintain consistent product quality for moderate production volumes. e more competitive, more profitable, and better aligned with long-term sustainability goals. 

Submerged Circulating Crystallizers 

Submerged Circulating Crystallizers rely on either external or internal circulation to maintain supersaturation and promote controlled crystal growth. 

How It Works 

• External circulation: Solution is pumped at high velocity through heat exchanger tubes, minimizing surface fouling while providing evaporation energy. 

• Internal circulation: A propeller drives solution through a draft recirculation tube, using hot feed input for energy. 

Advantages 

• Well-suited for large capacity production. 

• Produces small, pure crystals consistently. 

• Flexible between external and internal circulation designs. 

RCM Expertise 

Our engineering focuses on energy-efficient designs that scale to high-volume production while maintaining uniform crystal quality. 

Cooling Crystallization 

Unlike evaporative systems, cooling crystallization relies on temperature changes to drive supersaturation. Because solubility depends on temperature, lowering the solution temperature reduces solubility, forcing crystals to form. 

Cooling crystallization is performed through indirect heat transfer or direct vacuum cooling, both of which reduce temperature to encourage nucleation and crystal growth. 

How It Works 

1. Solution is cooled through heat transfer or reduced pressure. 

2. A portion of the solvent evaporates under vacuum, releasing latent heat. 

3. The bulk solution cools, causing solute to crystallize. 

Advantages 

• Lower energy demand compared to full evaporation. 

• Ideal for heat-sensitive materials. 
• Multiple configurations for specific needs. 

Types of Cooling Crystallizers 

1. Vacuum Cooling Crystallizers 

• Operates in batch or continuous mode. 

• Batch mode: Crystals form uniformly, each exposed to the same process time, ensuring consistent size. 

• Continuous mode: Enables tight process control, high purity, and efficient operation. 

2. Continuous Cooling Crystallizers 

• Removes slurry to a centrifuge. 

• Dilute solution returns to an evaporator for concentration. 

• Concentrated warm solution feeds back into the cooling crystallizer. 

3. Scraped Surface Crystallizers 

• Vessel walls are chilled, causing crystals to form on surfaces. 

• Rotating blades scrape crystals from the wall, returning them to solution for growth. 

• Final slurry is removed for centrifugation and separation. 

RCM Expertise 

We design cooling crystallizers for applications requiring precise control, high product purity, and energy efficiency. Whether batch, continuous, or scraped surface, our systems are tailored for client-specific requirements. 

Choosing the Right Crystallizer 

Selecting between evaporator, draft tube, submerged circulating, or cooling crystallizers depends on: 

• Product scale (small vs. large capacity). 

• Crystal size needs (fine, uniform, or coarse). 

• Material properties (heat-sensitive vs. stable). 

• Energy efficiency and sustainability goals. 

At RCM Thermal Kinetics, our process begins with pilot studies and feasibility evaluations, ensuring the right crystallizer is engineered for long-term performance and ROI. 

Custom-Engineered Systems from RCM Thermal Kinetics 

Our advantage lies in delivering tailored crystallization solutions, not off-the-shelf equipment. With decades of experience in evaporation, distillation, and crystallization, we provide: 

• Detailed process development.

At the heart of these updates is a sharper focus on carbon intensity (CI)—a measure of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced over the full life cycle of fuel production. For ethanol producers, this means success is no longer measured by gallons alone. The real question today is: What is your carbon intensity score? 

What Is a Carbon Intensity Score? 

A carbon intensity score measures the total amount of greenhouse gases released during the production, distribution, and use of a fuel. This includes carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and other emissions generated across the entire supply chain. 

For ethanol, the carbon intensity score takes into account: 

• Feedstock choices (corn, crops, or alternative biomass). 

• Fossil fuels used to power plant operations. 

• Energy efficiency in systems like distillation, dehydration, and evaporation. 

• Transportation and distribution logistics. 

CI is measured in grams of CO₂ equivalent per megajoule of energy (gCO₂e/MJ). Regulatory programs like California’s LCFS (Low Carbon Fuel Standard) and Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) rely on CI calculators to determine whether fuels qualify for credits and market access. 

In simple terms: your CI score reflects your carbon footprint per unit of energy. 

How Is a Carbon Intensity Score Calculated? 

While each program has slightly different rules, the general carbon intensity score calculation follows a life-cycle analysis (LCA). This “well-to-wheel” approach accounts for: 

1. Crop production – Corn or other feedstocks require fertilizer, land use, and energy inputs. Fertilizer application in particular releases nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. 

2. Transportation – Moving crops and ethanol involves diesel and other fossil fuel emissions. 

3. Plant operations – Energy use during distillation and drying is often the largest contributor to CI. 

4. Co-products and credits – Byproducts like distillers’ grains can offset some emissions in the CI calculator. 

For producers, knowing how to calculate carbon intensity score is critical, as small changes in efficiency, energy sourcing, or crop management can shift CI results—and therefore compliance and profitability.  

What Is a Good Carbon Intensity Score? 

So, what is a good carbon intensity score? That depends on the program you’re aiming for. 

• Under California’s LCFS, gasoline has a baseline CI of around 100 gCO₂e/MJ. Ethanol must fall significantly below that to generate valuable credits. 

• Corn ethanol can vary widely, with CI scores typically ranging from 50–70 gCO₂e/MJ depending on plant design, energy inputs, and feedstock sourcing. 

• The lower the CI, the greater the access to tax credits, incentives, and premium markets. 

Plants that consistently achieve CI reductions are more competitive, more profitable, and better aligned with long-term sustainability goals. 

Why Carbon Intensity Matters Now 

Policy trends make one thing clear: carbon reduction is not optional. With the transportation sector under increasing pressure to cut emissions, ethanol producers must adapt. 

Lowering CI impacts nearly every corner of a plant’s business: 

• Compliance – Meeting evolving RFS, LCFS, and CFR requirements. 

• Profitability – Low-CI gallons qualify for premium pricing and tax credits. 

• Sustainability – Reduced GHG emissions strengthen ethanol’s role in the clean energy transition. 

• Future-proofing – Regulations will only get stricter; early movers gain long-term advantage. 

In short, CI is no longer just an environmental metric—it’s a competitive score. 

Carbon Intensity and Corn Ethanol 

Corn remains the dominant feedstock for U.S. ethanol production, but its CI score depends heavily on agricultural practices and plant efficiency. 

• Fertilizer use and soil management directly impact nitrous oxide emissions. 

• Crop transportation adds fuel-related carbon. 

• Energy use in the distillation process is often the single biggest driver of CI. 

However, with improved energy efficiency and process optimization, corn ethanol can achieve significant CI reductions, making it a strong contender in low-carbon markets. am works closely with customers to ensure responsive service, rapid problem-solving, and long-term operational success. 

The NEXT Advantage: Lower CI Without Losing Throughput 

This is where NEXT from RCM Thermal Kinetics comes in. NEXT was developed to help ethanol plants not only meet compliance requirements but also thrive in the new low-carbon economy. 

NEXT upgrades the most energy-intensive stages of ethanol production—Distillation, Dehydration, and Evaporation (DD&E)—delivering: 

• Improved Process Efficiency – Streamlined DD&E reduces steam demand, lowering fossil fuel use and overall CI. 

• Energy Source Flexibility – With reduced steam needs, plants can shift toward cleaner heat sources. 

• Water & Heat Recovery – Captures waste heat and water, further cutting energy losses and greenhouse gas emissions. 

• Capacity Gains – Unlike many retrofits, NEXT enables plants to increase throughput while driving CI scores down. 

This approach transforms carbon intensity compliance from a burden into a profit-driving opportunity. 

From Compliance to Competitive Edge 

Integrating NEXT into your plant’s operations offers multiple benefits: 

• Meet evolving CI standards under RFS, LCFS, and Canada’s CFR. 

• Generate valuable credits through lower CI scores. 

• Reduce greenhouse gases including CO₂ and N₂O across the ethanol life cycle. 

• Strengthen sustainability profile to attract investors and buyers focused on ESG goals. 

• Increase margins by producing more gallons of ethanol with fewer emissions. 

NEXT positions plants not just for today’s compliance needs but for tomorrow’s opportunities in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), clean hydrogen, and broader renewable markets. 

CI, Clean Energy, and the Bigger Picture 

The push toward CI reduction is more than a policy shift—it’s part of the global response to climate change. Every ton of carbon dioxide avoided moves the transportation sector closer to net-zero goals. Ethanol, once judged solely on its ability to displace petroleum, is now a proven pathway toward sustainable, low-carbon fuels. 

By addressing CI at the plant level, producers help reduce the overall carbon footprint of the fuel supply chain. And with greater public demand for clean energy, every improvement in CI strengthens ethanol’s long-term role in a decarbonized economy. 

The Bottom Line 

Navigating the new RFS rules requires more than just hitting volume targets. The future of ethanol lies in producing smarter, more sustainable fuel—lowering CI while increasing efficiency and profitability. 

NEXT empowers ethanol producers to: 

• Understand and improve their carbon intensity score calculation. 

• Compete in premium markets by achieving good carbon intensity scores. 

• Leverage CI calculators and compliance programs like California’s LCFS. 

• Cut emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse gases. 

• Reduce reliance on fossil fuels through improved energy efficiency. 

• Build resilience and long-term profitability in the clean energy transition. 

Don’t just adapt to new rules—use them to your advantage. Talk with our expert engineers today to schedule a site evaluation and see how NEXT can deliver measurable reductions in carbon intensity scores, stronger compliance, and greater profitability for your ethanol facility.

This Family Fun Month, we’re celebrating the small, intentional ways you can reconnect with your loved ones—even with a packed calendar. Because meaningful time doesn’t have to be big—it just has to be present.

1. Find Joy in the Little Moments

Not every memory needs a full day off. Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the simple ones:

• A quick morning walk with your child
• Storytime before bed—even virtually if you’re on a night shift
• A short video call over lunch break
• Leaving small notes or treats before heading to work

Little moments, done consistently, leave a lasting impact.

2. Schedule Family Time Like You Do Everything Else

Just as you prioritize patient care, carve out time with your family and treat it as non-negotiable.

• Block off evenings or weekends for uninterrupted time
• Add family time to your calendar the same way you do shifts
• Communicate clearly so everyone can look forward to it

When family time is planned, it becomes part of the rhythm—not an afterthought.

3. Create Meaningful Moments—Right at Home

After long hours on your feet, rest matters—and so does connection. The good news? You don’t have to go far to make memories.

• Cook meals together or try new recipes as a team
• Have a board game night or a cozy movie marathon
• Turn clean-up time into a dance party
• Let your child help prep your work bag or lunch—it makes them feel included
• Plan a simple picnic or spend time in the backyard

Joy doesn’t need to be complicated. Sometimes, the best bonding happens right where you already are.

4. Be Fully Present When You’re Home

With limited time, your full attention becomes even more valuable.

• Put away devices during family meals
• Keep one day or evening “tech-free”
• Focus on eye contact, listening, and laughter

Presence is more powerful than perfection.

Why It Matters

Strong family relationships are essential to emotional well-being—especially for those in care-giving professions. Making time for fun:

• Helps reduce stress and prevent burnout
• Strengthens emotional bonds
• Reinforces the values of balance, empathy, and joy at home
• Reminds you that you’re cared for, too

A Gentle Reminder

August, as Family Fun Month, is a beautiful opportunity to reflect on what matters most. No matter how busy your schedule is, your time and presence—however small—is a powerful gift to those you love.

So, take that walk, plan that game night, make room for laughter. You deserve it, and so do they.

Let’s Have a Moment of Science

Amherst, NY – July 10, 2025 – On July 30, RCM Thermal Kinetics will host its second annual Kid’s Day, a private science and engineering celebration for the families and friends of employees. This feel-good, STEM-forward event brings 30 kids and 20 adults to the company’s Buffalo-based innovation lab. It promises a day of fun, learning, and curiosity-driven discovery. 

Following the success of 2024’s inaugural event, Kid’s Day 2025 promises even more hands-on experiments and interactive activities. There will be engaging lessons in chemical engineering and process science. These are led by RCM’s team of real engineers and technical staff. 

What Exactly is Kid’s Day?

Each child receives their own lab coat, notebook, and pen to become an honorary “junior engineer” for the day. From there, they rotate through four hands-on science and engineering stations. These are guided by RCM’s real-life engineers and technicians. With stations ranging from chemical reactions to process demonstrations, the day sparks imagination and builds a bridge between STEM careers and early curiosity. 

“Kid’s Day is one of the most meaningful things we do all year,” said David Loschiavo, General Manager at RCM Thermal Kinetics. “We work on world-class engineering projects every day, and this is our chance to share that spirit of innovation with the next generation—and their families.” 

RCM Thermal Kinetics, headquartered in Amherst, NY, is known for delivering large-scale, energy-efficient process systems for industries like ethanol, chemical, and renewable fuels. But from the outside, its modest office and lab space might go unnoticed. 

“That’s part of why Kid’s Day matters,” added David. “It’s a reminder that something exciting is happening right here in Western New York—something innovative, technical, and creative.” 

Media Invitation

Although this Kid’s Day STEM Event is closed to the public, media inquiries are welcome. Photos and video opportunities will be available upon request. 

Interested outlets can arrange interviews or request photos/videos from the event. Contact David Loschiavo at david.loschiavo@rcmt.com or (716) 264-4913 for access.

In just nine months, RCM Thermal Kinetics designed, built, and delivered a high-performance system that included an emissions control scrubber and a high-vacuum distillation process—ensuring the plant consistently met state air quality standards of ≤50 ppm. In fact, the system regularly achieved results under 25 ppm. 

A Modular, Automated Solution

One of the key achievements of this project was the delivery of a fully modular, automatic process plant. All critical components—equipment, high-vacuum distillation system, and PLC automation—were integrated into a compact system that featured: 

• Push-button start and stop functionality 
• Minimal operator involvement 
• Full automation of startup, shutdown, and emergency sequences 

The flexible design allowed Reynolds Packaging to respond to evolving needs throughout the project, including requests for more operational automation, which RCM TK implemented during the final construction stages. 

Meeting and Exceeding Emissions Targets 

Clean air emissions were a primary goal. The custom-engineered system not only met ASME state air quality standards but exceeded them. Operating at less than 2 mm Hg absolute pressure and 340°F, the distillation unit consistently maintained emission levels under 25 ppm—half of the allowable limit. 

Overcoming Technical Challenges 

No complex industrial project is without hurdles. For Reynolds Packaging, two key challenges emerged during development: 

1. Mid-Project Automation Request 

Originally scoped as an operator-assisted system, Reynolds requested fully automated startup and shutdown sequences partway through the project. RCM Thermal Kinetics delivered—integrating full PLC control in just a few weeks, all without disrupting the project timeline. 

2. Corrosion from Oil Oxidation

During testing, high-temperature oil oxidation triggered unexpected corrosion. RCM TK’s engineering team quickly identified the issue and re-engineered aspects of the system to prevent further oxidation and corrosion—preserving both performance and system longevity. 

The Outcome

This project was completed on schedule and within scope. Thanks to its success, RCM Thermal Kinetics has since delivered three additional systems to the aluminum rolling industry—solidifying its position as the market leader for emissions recovery systems in this sector across the U.S.
