Asset Management

MentorAPM Asset Lens

The MentorAPM Asset Lens is an asset management tool that dramatically reduces the time and cost of building and keeping asset registers and condition assessments updated with high-quality, consistent information. Cutting the time spent on field collection from 30 minutes to 30 seconds per asset, it allows team members to capture and process nameplate data with just a photo, automatically attaching it to the correct asset record with three plus layers of validation. Additionally, it delivers instant, Level 2+ asset condition scores based on observable characteristics from corrosion and leakage through to thermographic analysis all calibrated against MentorAPM’s asset condition libraries and manufacturers’ data. The software standardizes data collection so that all asset records track the same fields, making them easier to assess, compare and standardize. 602-492-6212; www.mentorapm.com

Biogas

Jacobi Carbons AddSorb OX-Series

Jacobi Carbons AddSorb OX-Series is a coconut-shell based pelletized carbon designed for use in odor removal in the biogas industry. Specially formulated for optimal hydrogen sulfide removal, the product line is a replacement for AddSorb Sulfox, Jacobi’s original coal-based product. The series is available in two variants – OX20, which has a minimum hydrogen sulfide loading capacity of 0.2 grams per cubic centimeter (capacity is 40% by weight), and AddSorb OX30 with an enhanced hydrogen sulfide loading capacity of 0.3 grams per cubic centimeter (capacity is 66% by weight). Both offer a non-impregnated grade with lower ash and higher purity, which helps maintain the signature low pressure drop associated with pelletized carbon. With coconut shell as the primary raw material, the global warming potential is significantly less than that of the prior coal-based offering, meaning a more sustainable product for the market. 215-546-3900; www.jacobi.net
