CleanAir's System | What To Look For | Result | Financial Outcome |
---|---|---|---|---|
Safety | ||||
Safety | Safe work habits are drilled in. We are working on OSHA VPP status. | Safety is Cleanair's highest priority! Our aim is zero safety incidents. Ask to see our safety manual and first aid system. | We work in plants and construction sites with an insurance classification mainly used by people who only work in chem labs. Our EMR is < 1. | An accident can result in major plant cost. We work every day to eliminate this possibility. Even small accident can increase plant operating costs. |

Problem Identification |
Engineering is in our name. We welcome challenges.
|
Understanding of the big picture including boiler, combustion chemistry and pollution control system. | Our goal is to deliver value 10 time our cost. | |
Implementing the “big picture” with a NPV and bottom line focus. | Personnel with the experience and intelligence to look at entire process, not just specific item hired to work on. "Our people are our technology" | "Not my job" mentality. Confusion as to effects or rest of process on item of interest. | Overlook simple solutions, and fail to recognize problems outside original scope. | Wasted time and money because of failure to identify true problem. Useless data because testing occurred at abnormal condition. Worthless tuning because unit was not operating at normal conditions. |
Flexibility in staffing under all circumstances. | Have a large base of well-educated field engineers who can operate seemlessly under any occasion allowing for flexibility when staffing and timetable issues arise. | Inability of companies to support constantly dynamic schedules always present in large oeprations. Companies who can not adequately respond to change or require large amounts of lead time to mobilize. | Extra cost from deviating from fixed schedules or inability to work at all because of scheduling conflicts. | Work does not get done simply because manpower is unavailable. Extra cost created by necessity of switching to another group or company to meet deadlines. |
Partners in the Industry. | Partner with other industry leaders like Cormetech to expend capabilites on both sides and create the ability to provide much larger scope service to customers as well as a larger knowledge database in which to make decisions and provide insight. | Companies who routinely need to bring in much third party help creating more bureaucracy and steps required to get things done. This is provided they can find people at all to meet the customers need. | Problems can not be handled and scopes cannot be met. Extra working relationships in their infancy provide new sets of problems during field operations. Extra time required to accomplish same task because of lack of proper personnel. | Wasted time seaching for adequate people to accomplish task. Extra money involved in acquiring sufficient manpower and brainpower. More lead time to provide same service. |
Schedule & Production | CleanAir's System | What To Look For | Bias Error | Financial Outcome |
Minimize unprofitable operation | Shortest possible test during reduces load testing | |||
Schedule Flexibility | ||||
Schedule Extention Option | ||||
Speed is necessary to allow for maximum efficiency in a process that may require several iterations to reach desired goal. | Multipoint Automated Sampling System (MASS) is proprietary technology that can allow for entire grid traverses in minimal amount of time. | "Clamp On Clamp Off" methods or manual probe moving that requires much manpower and time to accomplish what can be done in minutes instead of hours. | Work can take up to 10 times as long. Natural process fluctuation is more detrimental and may bias results too far in any direction. Exaggerrated temporal variation being accounted for instead of desired spatial variation used in normal tuning. | Higher project costs because of more time required to acquire data. Poor tuning performance because data tuning is based off of is biased or incomplete resulting in High NH3 slip or poor NOx removal. |
Technology | CleanAir's System | What To Look For | Bias Error | Financial Outcome |
Reduction of Uncertainty | Maximize the number of datapoints to minimize uncertainty due to spatial variation. | |||
"Bulletproof" equipment is needed to to minimize downtime and keep tunign process moving smoothly. | Equipment has been tested and properly maintained prior to, during, and after use. Educated personnel are able to fix nearly any problem in the field without significant downtime. | Filter plugging, line plugging, high sample bias, little or no sample conditioning (i.e. moisture removal), overly complex equipment that serves little or no function. | Data acquired does not accurately represent SCR state. Excess downtime required for repairs. More lead time to repair huge amounts of equipment. | Higher project costs that are not apparent in initial bid because downtime was left out. Inability to keep testing creating scheduling and deadline conflicts. |
Ability to adapt in terms of equipment. | Large Rentals group has vast amounts of equipment to meet almost any need. As well as personnel to support that equipment and get it where it needs to be in a hurry. Multiple branch offices allow quicker regional delivery. Large inventory allows for spare equipment to be brought with further minimizing downtime. | Mom and Pop operations that cannot support multiple or large projects. Companies with limited regional access require more time to accomplish same task. | Inability to obtain working equipment in reasonable time. Inability to take on full scope or multiple scopes. | Lost time trying to find equipment. No support for large scale projects. Scheduling limitations. |
Excess equipment can raise cost and slow down mobilization. | CleanAir's MASS is automated and modular allowing for ideal "fit" to SCR size and design without excess or bulky equipment to slow anything down. Sleek design makes adaptibilty and adjustment fast and simple. Think Streamlined and efficient. | Companies arriving with Tractor-Trailer Sized loads of equipment. Large bulky equipment that is difficult to access. | CleanAir's System has the capability to do hundreds of points simultaneously but only when needed, and will not waste time or expense hauling around superfluous equipment. | Higher costs because of being charged for equipment that is never used. More time required for mobilization and demobilization charges. |
Not all analyzers are created equal. | CleanAir utilizes chemiluminescent NOx and paramagnetic type O2 analyzers which are considered the best for analyzing each contituent and are based on EPA methods. These analyzers are designed for Source conditions and are serviced by certified technicians on a regular basis. | Companies using electrchemical cell type analyzers that are designed for spot checking at best and suffer severely from drift and temperature effects. Also compainies using old outdated instrumentation that is NEVER properly maintained or checked out. | Plain and Simple: if the analyzers are not working properly or are being used in a matter they were not designed for, they will not give accurate data and often this is completely unknown to the operator. | Complete waste of time and many if the most critical part of any analyzation system is giving inaccurate readings. |
Unsound tuning methodology can be a waste of time. | CleanAir bases tuning decisions on sound engineering principles. Simple operations allow quick, efficient decision making and do not allow errors to be made during complicated excess analysis. | No presented tuning methodology. Excess methodolgy that has no purpose let alone a sound basis. Flashy methods designed to drive up cost but provide no advantage and slow actual decision making. | Tuning process is slowed by need to "trial and error" test or by need to input and wait for superfluous information. Computer models are based in ideal conditions and cannot adapt to dynamic SCR operations and general degradation. | Wasted time equals higher costs. Not as much work accomplished during a day as fewer tuning interations can be conducted when decision making time is so high. |
