Expertise to transform process design and operations
Decades of experience in oil and gas operations, design, and analysis to mitigate scale formation and corrosion damage, increase operational efficiency, effectively treat produced water and flue gases and enhance useful asset life, prevent unplanned downtime.
OVERVIEW
Address complex challenges driven by complex chemical characteristics and harsh process conditions
Lost production output and increased costs in upstream operations due to mineral scaling and corrosion damage are very common. Poor asset integrity, high operating costs and sub-optimal materials selection negatively impact downstream operations. The sheer complexity of the multi-component chemistry, harsh operating conditions and unique process requirements make these processes very demanding.

APPLICATIONS
Boost operations and asset performance and sustainability
The ability to characterize complex chemistry behavior under a wide range of operating conditions coupled with deep domain knowledge of applications unlocks actionable business value.
