Colorado Engineering Experiment Station

COLORADO ENGINEER ING EXPER IMENT will allow them to meet industry demands for increased performance and decreased uncertainty. Among the calibrations that will be performed on CEESI’s new high-pressure air system, will be Flare meters. There is a significant amount of interest, and some regulation, pertaining to monitoring and recording the amount of natural gas which is flared into the atmosphere. The benefit of gas flaring is that it allows operators to depressurize their equipment and manage large, and sometimes unpredictable pressure variations by burning any excess gas. In order to provide this data, it’s important to be able to measure these events accurately. If this all sounds extremely scientific and technical in nature, that’s because it is. Simply put, CEESI’s clients rely on the Nunn, Colorado- based privately owned company to make sure its flow measurement equipment and products are working correctly. It’s why CEESI is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation. ISO/IEC 17025 enables laboratories to demonstrate that uncovering facts in metallurgy, materials testing, chemical analysis, non-destructive testing, calibration, fires, and explosions. Says Schoonover, “it is wonderful to have a parent company that understands the technical realm so well. It has been a phenomenal transition of ownership that will allow us to thrive in the years ahead.” Through this acquisition, CEESI will undergo changes in the future, which will include having access to new resources available through ATS and a close working relationship with several other calibration subsidiaries. CEESI currently maintains calibration facilities in Nunn, Colo., Garner, Iowa, and Chicago, IL. CEESI is currently working on the re-introduction of high-pressure air testing at its Nunn CO. location. This will allow them to continue air calibrations at much higher pressures for longer periods of time. This project represents a significant investment in CEESI’s future and 4 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 2
