Company Summary

The cost of nonconformance in the refining, chemical and pharmaceutical industries are huge; with billions of dollars lost in productivity, product waste/disposal, liability for off-spec product shipped and compromised safety through product recalls and litigation. We believe that by giving customers the ability to continually observe the chemistry within their process, that valuable improvement in product quality and productivity can result.
