Quotes
Everything is about the water. If you don't, if you don't have good water in the front end, then you won't have good steam.” - Steven Taylor
“Boilers haven’t changed much. Steam isn’t going anywhere. Steam will be done differently, but it is the medium that will stay around.” - Ritchie Ware
“It takes 12-14 months of training before we ever put a technician in a truck. It’s a pretty big investment”- Ritchie Ware
“As we look to the future, we are going to see more unmanned boiler rooms where we use technology to monitor boiler equipment, and you are going to see a lot of outsourcing of operators because manpower is a big issue.” - Steven Taylor
“Our biggest challenge is educating the industry on what steam does and how important it is to the world economy. That's our biggest challenge.” - Steven Taylor
“I wish everyone understood how important steam is and how much it impacts everyone's lives. It’s amazing how much steam affects our lives.” - Ritchie Ware

Periodic Water Table With James McDonald
This one is a volatile topic, but what is cyclohexylamine used for? What is its chemical formula? What is cyclohexylamine’s distribution ratio? How does its distribution ratio compare to that of similar chemistries? How does this relate to distance? Where is the best place to feed cyclohexylamine to an industrial water system? Can this recommended feed point change according to the industry? Can you test for cyclohexylamine? Are there limits on how much you can feed in certain applications? Where is cyclohexylamine consumed or lost in a system? Can cyclohexylamine precipitate with carbonate or bicarbonate? What pretreatment equipment can be used to reduce the amount of cyclohexylamine needed?
