About WFC Inc
Over the last 4 years WFC Inc has developed an expertise in process chemical engineering consultancy services
Mr. Vikram Vanama, proprietor who has worked in bulk drug industry for about 20 years started WFC Inc in January 2021. The main objective of the company is to provide the chemical engineering solutions to the Chemical, Agro chemical and Bulk drug industries.
There is a gap in the chemical engineering services availability for the small and mid-sized chemical, Agro chemical and Bulk drug industries due to non-availability of expert chemical engineers who are not willing to work as an employee.
WFC Inc identified the niche segment and started working with these companies to cater the basic design requirements, trouble shooting the existing process and utility equipment, interacting with key manufacturing, R&D, plant engineering team and EHS team to identify the route cause for the trouble and suggesting a way forward to overcome the issue.
Designed and implemented the proposed changes successfully at commercial scale successfully. WFC Inc has successfully executed more than 20 projects in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra states in various chemical, agro chemical and bulk drug industries.
The projects include the green filed projects, solvent recovery systems, thin film evaporation systems, stripper systems and high vacuum distillation systems.
