Our engineered services group includes engineer specialists, who are intimately acquainted with the technology or specific industries such as hydrocarbon processing, pulp and paper, power generation and others.

For analytical services that are more complete and more complex. In our central laboratories we can tackle projects beyond the capabilities of onsite equipment and cut across a variety of scientific discipline ranging from analytical chemistry through metallurgy and microbiology to aquatic science.

When you ask AFC field engineer for assistance, it is reassuring to know he can draw on a wealth of proven products, precision equipment and other backup services. Following is a brief rundown of some of those support services.

Workshops by our field specialists keep accounts abreast of new development in water and process treatment that pertain to their specific needs. Innovations in treatment technology are often geared to changing equipment, production requirement and made products called for by the wide variety of water sources used by industry today.

Our service program includes onsite operator training. The importance of chemical balances, efficient use of energy and water conservation is emphasized along with the basics of problem and variables control. Such training ensures the proper implementation of recommended programs and lower costs through better chemical utilization.

To develop the best, most cost-efficient treatment program possible for a customer, we must know as much about a process system and equipment as the people responsible for its day to day operation. In other words, our approach is one of total commitment. That means that we begin a project by meeting with plant personnel for a preliminary discussion of problems and objectives. Next our field personnel go on site for a survey of plant, equipment and operations that involves investigation of process flow schemes, water sources, environmental restrictions, system history, critical and potential problem areas and still more. Then we review the information, making extensive use of computerized techniques to evaluate project data, isolate potential problems and develop problem - solving technology

Improving the quality of industrial water and process systems requires a well organized approach to serving customers need. The changing needs of industry have called for new systems and solutions that take advantage of today’s technology and automated controls. Fortunately quality in a water treatment program can be now closely monitored, measured and controlled in today’s industrial plant. Conductivity, blow-down, pH, TDS, acid feed, chemical product dosage and residuals, all can be monitored, controlled and adjusted, giving as a final result better treatment results.

At AFC we are helping meeting these and other challenges in several ways. After engineering the best chemical treatment program, we will prescribe monitoring programs to help achieve peak performance. Frequent plant visits, operator training programs, data monitoring and recommending both chemical and mechanical modifications are all essential to our Engineered Treatment Programs
