Reactors,
pumps, tank, piping and heat exchangers are but a few examples of
the vast variety of equipment used in the food, pharmaceutical and
chemical industries. Problems can arise due to corrosion, cracking,
wear or unanticipated process changes. These problems can impact your
production. We can help you correct these problems, inspect your equipment
or help you to choose the proper materials of construction for equipment
or piping additions.

Beyond
our expertise of
working with traditional materials and processes, the Staff at MEi
has gained experience working with many state of the art advanced
materials. |
If you
are presently using some of these advanced materials, we can assist
you in failure analysis, processing, design and testing. If you are
considering the use of advanced materials, we will help you sort out
the truth from the fiction to determine if there would be real benefits
to using advanced materials in your applications. Once this determination
is made, we will assist you in developing these materials to take
advantage of their unique properties in your products. |
