| Our business is to design
and build instrumentation to objectively quantify the deleterious effects
of fouling in industrial, commercial and electric utility equipment. We
believe there are numerous mutually beneficial opportunities in the world
today for our technology. Industry will benefit from improved efficiency,
reduced material costs (fuel) and reduced operating cost (unscheduled
shutdowns), regulators will benefit by enhanced compliance and improved
documentation, and finally the public will benefit from reduced chemical
discharge and improved control.
At present our equipment is primarily used to monitor
the thermal performance degradation in industrial heat exchangers on a
side stream flow.
We have developed and tested numerous systems and methods related to our
primary technology which await commercialization. Join our mailing list
or visit frequently to learn about these products as they become available.
If you have a special need or assistance with research in our field, please
contact us. We are always interested in discussing new opportunities and
sharing ideas and opinions.
As a small business, we maintain the flexibility and initiative
to customize and modify our products to suit your needs. Our primary fields
or experience, interest and application are:
Side stream instruments for thermal performance monitoring.
- Our DATS, high temperature and high pressure versions
- Alternative fluid monitoring for heat transfer degradation
with time
- Tube coating tests – polymers, ceramics, ablative
- for thermal and hydraulic performance
Thermal performance monitoring of industrial equipment
and related instrumentation (on equipment)
- Physical inspection of tube sheet surfaces, photo
documentation and reporting
- Flow measurement via mechanical, ultrasonic, magnetic
technologies
- Temperature measurement including stratified thermal
discharge
- Heat flux and thermal power measurement – localized
or gross calculations
Instrumentation to optimize cooling water fouling control
via chemical feed (biocides and scales inhibitors)
- Data interpretation, calculation and documentation
Monitor performance of chemical treatment programs independently
and objectively
- Use of remote, automated data logging on various instrumentation
Our products and technology are commonly used by all of
the following industries:
- Electric power utilities using cooling water derived
from the ocean, river, well or reclaimed waste
- Petroleum refineries – aqueous cooling of petrochemicals
from crude to finish goods
- Chemical process plants – aqueous cooling of
process at various stages
- Metal refining/smelting, mini mills – cooling
of crucibles, dies and fume handling equipment
- Mining – pipelines, acid leach processes, thermal
processes
- HVAC chillers/cooling towers – compression and
absorption refrigeration processes
- Industrial process
- Breweries/distillation – biofouling of intermediate
stages
- Ship board / ocean going vessel – sea chest,
power plant and refrigeration/cooling system fouling
- Desalination (thermal and reverse osmosis)
- Paper and paper pulp processing
