Sell full facilities or standalone systems from surplus sites

IPP works with companies to assess the value of entire plants, as well as individual modules, skids, and units. We can market your facility as a turnkey package or break it down for targeted resale, depending on market demand and your preferred timeline.

Surplus doesn’t mean scrap — your plant still holds value

Every surplus process plant contains equipment with active market value—reactors, centrifuges, heat exchangers, pumps, and utilities that can be redeployed or upgraded. We match each asset with global buyers and ensure proper documentation to close the deal.

Frequently asked questions about selling surplus process plants

What qualifies as a surplus process plant?

Any facility or major production system no longer in active use. We handle full plants, partial lines, or integrated systems.

Can I sell both equipment and buildings?

IPP helps sell process systems and equipment. Real estate is typically handled separately unless bundled in a site exit plan.

Does IPP dismantle and ship surplus plants?

Yes. We coordinate disassembly, rigging, transport, and even reinstallation for buyer-side support.

Can I sell a surplus plant while it’s still running?

Yes. We frequently work with facilities undergoing planned shutdowns or looking to sell assets before decommissioning.

What’s the typical sale timeline?

Depending on plant type, access, and buyer demand, deals can close in 30–90 days with IPP’s support.
