Although Woodland 's CPR™ process is proprietary (patented), the components it uses are standard within the petrochemical industry. All equipment is state-of-the-art, and is considered to be off-the-shelf. Each plant is specifically designed for the site selected by the purchaser, in consultation with the science and engineering staff at Woodland.

The plant equipment is fabricated and skid-mounted at their Edmonton plant (or other more convenient locations throughout the world, depending on the eventual installation site) by Thermo Design Engineering, Woodland 's engineering partner. After testing and quality control, it is then shipped to the selected plant site. 

The selection as to which plant model to build, and which chemical to produce is always a joint decision between the plant purchaser and Woodland 's science and engineering team. The parameters of the plant configuration are influenced by such factors as:

• Existing business factors of the purchaser
• Amount of residue available on site
• Proximity to road, barge or rail line
• Availability and cost of natural gas
• Chemical market factors
• Need for internal use of the product chemical
