History of Midland Resource Recovery
In 1996, Jan Strmen, the founder of MRR, developed a proactive solution to a long-term industry problem: obsolete odorant equipment decommissioning and off-site treatment. MRR has developed techniques that allow us to work with odorant in an “odor-free” manner, using patented technologies to remove obsolete odorization equipment from client sites. This process is currently widely accepted by the natural gas and propane industry due to its low-risk and cost-effective workflow.
In 2006, MRR opened the first US location in Philippi, WV. This facility operates the treatment and processing facility for obsolete odorization equipment, a storage facility for natural gas and propane odorants and a liquid odorant delivery service using specialized closed-loop vapor recovery truck. Since 2006, MRR has been partnering with Chevron Phillips Chemical to offer delivery of quality odorants that are made in the USA.
In 2011, MRR split into two sister companies: MRR Canada, headquartered in Lancaster, ON, and MRR USA in Philippi, WV. For the past 10 years, MRR has expanded its offerings to include innovative, complementary services and products as part of our engineered odorization solutions. MRR specializes in turn-key solutions to odorization challenges, encompassing:
- decommissioning and off-site treatment
