Services
Thermal Blanket Insulation
Thermal blanket insulation reduces energy loss and enhances safety for high-temperature systems like steam valves and exhausts. These reusable blankets lower surface temperatures by 4257C, cutting energy costs and emissions. Ideal for industrial settings, they meet OSHA standards and offer a 1224 month ROI through reduced fuel consumption.
Acoustic Blankets
Acoustic blankets mitigate machinery noise by 420 dBA, protecting workers from hearing damage and ensuring compliance with OSHA's 85 dBA exposure limit. Designed for compressors and turbines, they use sound-reflective coatings and are ASTM-tested for performance in commercial and industrial environments.
Safety Shields
Safety shields protect against burns and equipment damage with UL 1709-certified fire blankets that withstand 2000F for over 3 hours. These reusable shields safeguard MOVs, cameras, and sensitive gear in oil & gas and chemical plants, meeting ASTM F-1138 standards for spray leak containment.
Hydrophobic Insulation
Hydrophobic insulation blankets repel water with PTFE-coated fiberglass, preventing corrosion under insulation (CUI) in refineries and processing plants. These blankets maintain thermal efficiency when exposed to moisture, reducing maintenance costs and extending equipment lifespan in harsh environments.
Steam Heat Kits
Steam heat kits provide plug-and-play thermal management for complex equipment like gate valves. Pre-engineered with stainless steel tubing, they eliminate manual shaping and ensure even heat distribution, improving condensate return temperatures and reducing energy waste in industrial steam systems.

Report
I just interviewed for an inside sales position. It's a good place if your experience is based on schooling. If you have extensive experience by working on the floor, it's not for you. Very uptight and yuppie. The only experience that they have is schooling and office. No hands on experience. Good place if you have a diploma and no shop experience.
