Safety at Refined Technologies (RTI) has never been a slogan or a box to check. For the last 25 years, it has been what we value most. From the beginning, safety was built into how we pursue excellence and serve others. Prioritizing safety at it's core, is protecting people and how we operate—every job, every site, every day. This is why we continue to innovate and implement simple, but impactful best practices like our hose and pipe bridges into our processes. We prioritize safety because clients trust us with complex and critical work. We prioritize safety because families and communities are impacted by how the work gets done, not just whether it gets done. We prioritize safety because at the end of the day, it’s our responsibility. As we reflect on 25 years, we are grateful for industries we have served and for people who have upheld this standard to keep us safe. We are also grateful for our clients, partners, and Artisans who we get to keep safe and serve with the excellence they have come to expect.

When an industry comes together to talk safety, one thing is clear: you can't create an intentional safety culture without caring for people as whole individuals. Cody Nath's conversations with the Health and Safety Council® at American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) reaffirmed that the most resilient safety cultures support The Whole You. At Refined Technologies (RTI), that means safety goes beyond physical protections to encompass purpose, community, physical, mental, and emotional health. When we put people first in this holistic way, we see the difference in trust, performance, and serving clients with sustainability. We're proud to partner with others across our industry who share this vision for a people-first safety culture.

We are grateful for the opportunity to share how second-chance hiring can meet real workforce needs while opening doors for people to do work that matters. We're thankful to our partners across the industry who are helping turn meaningful employment into eternal impact. #RefinedTechnologies #RTI #EternalPurposeFuelsExcellence #HelpPeopleDevelop #PursueExcellence #WeWorkForHope #SecondChanceHiring
Thank you to Cody Nath, President and CEO of Refined Technologies, for sharing his company's second chance hiring program with NOIA members at the National Ocean Industries Association Annual Meeting. The energy industry is facing a real workforce shortage, and Refined Technologies decided to do something about it. In Harris County, TX alone, 15,000 men and women are released from prison every year. Without stable employment, many cycle back into the system, at significant cost to individuals, communities, and taxpayers. RTI saw a workforce need and a reintegration challenge, and built a program that addresses both. Partnering with nonprofits including CrossWalk Center, Open Door Mission, and WorkFaith Connection, RTI hires re-entry citizens into real careers, not just entry-level roles. Second-chance hires hold lead shop technician positions. Shop tech retention has improved 30% since the program launched. And RTI's workforce culture, built around what they call their "Artisans," is stronger for it. RTI is now working to help other companies follow the same path, hosting roundtables, advocating for TWIC card access for re-entry hires, and pushing for field-level client exposure that opens even more doors.

🎉 Congratulations to Derick White, our April 2026 Artisan of the Month! 🎉 Derick joined Refined Technologies in 2024 and serves as an Operations Project Manager based out of California. He was introduced to RTI from another Artisan. Since joining RTI, Derick has enjoyed collaborating with other Artisans and problem solving to help support clients. One of his favorite memories was working with fellow Artisans during a full facility shutdown this year. When he's not serving clients, Derick enjoys traveling with his family to different states, camping, and hiking. "Derick stepped up and immediately got to work. He was the first one on site, building relationships, and creating alignment between RTI's capabilities and client expectations. He has done a terrific job, and I am incredibly grateful for his hard work and positive attitude throughout it all." Thank you, Derick, for your commitment to pursuing excellence and exemplifying what it means to be an Artisan! Join us in congratulating Derick in the comments! #RefinedTechnologies #RTI #EternalPurposeFuelsExcellence #PursueExcellence #ArtisanOfTheMonth #HelpPeopleDevelop

We are proud to celebrate Rizon's 1 Year Anniversary! We are grateful for the Artisans supporting them and the partners who trust them every day.
One year in and we are grateful! One year ago today, we officially launched Rizon! What started as a vision to bring simplicity, transparency, and flexibility to downstream specialty chemicals has grown into strong partnerships because of the Artisans behind it and the clients who trusted us from day one. Thank you for helping shape Rizon's first year. We're grateful for the innovation and excited about serving our clients with excellence for years to come. Our Artisans celebrated together yesterday with sweet treats, a small but meaningful reminder that people and shared moments are at the heart of everything we build.
