As we enter this new year, some companies are projecting that it will be a record year for drilling new gas wells in the Shale Formation, and there is a greater need to remove any sand that may come out with the natural gas to protect valves, meters and other equipment.

 

Pentad Associates and TM Filtration have come out with a new Desander to remove sand out of new and capped gas wells before sending the natural gas to the pipeline.

 

TM Filtration Model 384 (Inline-Bulk Desander/Deliquidizer Coalescer) catalog information is now available for pipe line sizes 2” thru 12”.  Please contact us to receive a copy. Sizing will be available in ANSI ratings of 150#, 300# and 600.  Other sizes and pressures available on request.

 

Let us know if we can help with your Desanding requirement.

Graver Water Systems can now provide solutions to meet the more stringent EPA regulations related to the new effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs). 

 

Graver’s experience enables them to provide systems that meet the new removal requirements for arsenic, selenium and mercury.

 

We would be happy to discuss Graver’s capabilities with you.  Please contact us for further information.

Coming soon is the 2016 DUG conference! With many key-note speakers like Jim Volker, Greg Hill, and Heath Mireles, you will learn about optimizing completion techniques with improved frac designs and new technologies and streamlining logistics. The conference will be held at the Colorado Convention Center March 9 through 11. Whether it’s “lower for longer” or a “faster-than-expected recovery,” the innovative spirit that launched America’s shale revolution will be at DUG.

Webster Combustion announces release of its enhanced auto air density trim system.

Temp-A-Trim, Webster’s patented burner control system, is designed to deliver fuel savings of up to 3% and electrical savings of up to 30%. After years of successful installations, Temp-A-Trim is now available on new or installed commercial and industrial boiler burners of any brand.

Temp-A-Trim works by precisely correcting for air density as the combustion air temperature changes to optimize combustion efficiency automatically. A built-in variable frequency drive (VFD) adjusts the fan speed based on incoming air temperature to create a constant air flow mass for combustion, assuring that the burner is always operating at maximum efficiency, thereby burning less fuel and reducing emissions.

One of the best features about Temp-A-Trim is that it can be retrofitted on any commercial or industrial boiler burner regardless of size or brand. Temp-A-Trim installs easily with no special setup or programming required, and it is compatible with both linkage and linkageless control systems

.

Temp-A-Trim also saves labor and downtime, because it reduces the need for seasonal burner tune-ups. The built-in VFD provides a soft start, producing less motor wear and reduced noise level. And finally, Temp-A-Trim’s air density control and VFD create opportunities for energy rebates, saving customers additional funds and making their return on investment even more enticing.

Ant Man hit theaters July 17th with Paul Rudd playing hero Scott Lang. Ant Man is a character from the Marvel Universe who can shrink to the size of -you guessed it – an ant. Along with his ability to shrink, he has super human strength. He truly is the tiniest protector of the Marvel Universe. The tiny protector in the ’Boiler Universe is called resin.

Resin is a collection of tiny beads that are negatively charged and are located inside a water softener. Their purpose is simple: to protect your boiler. They do this by filtering the water before it enters your boiler. If these tiny protectors were not present, the minerals in the water would cause pitting and scaling in your boiler which greatly reduce heat transfer efficiency.

Resin plays a pivotal role in keeping your water clean. It is something that you typically don’t see but is at the heart of your water softener. Without it, the feedwater to your boiler would be filled with impurities that would significantly reduce the useful life of your boiler.

So how does it work?

Water enters the water softener ’hard“.’ Hard is another way of saying that it is full of minerals and dissolved solids. These minerals are positively charged. When they flow through the water softener and across the negatively charged resin beads, an ION exchange occurs and the minerals attach themselves to the beads. This allows clean soft water to pass through to your boiler system.
