Testimonials

I’m looking to establish a strong network of some of the world’s best compressed air experts, because we need some assistance writing best practices and refinery engineering practices. It all starts with first getting the right network of people.”

– Raymond Hooks, Utilities and Chemical Treatment Engineer, Phillips 66

“I got to learn a lot more about air filtration and microbial contamination that could be in the compressed air system that I didn’t think to look for before.”

– Steve Leining, Engineering Department Manager, Plastipak Packaging

“The most valuable thing for me has been talking with all the refrigerated dryer manufacturers and vendors who could give me information on all the different technologies that are out there. I learn from our maintenance team what the issues are, and here I can talk to experts who can help me with those issues. I’ve spoken to Mikropor and BEKO. I’ll present different options to our maintenance teams about what’s available and have solutions for them.”

– Jesse Becker, Mechanical Systems Engineer, Mayo Clinic

“There are several more air compressor manufacturers here than in previous years. It seems like the show is growing. I’ve been catching up with a lot of good people in the industry. New people came in looking for new vendors on certain products, so we talked with them a little bit. Since we’re a distributor, we’re focused on building relationships with some of the vendors.”

– Chad Gooding, President, G3 Industrial Solutions

“This was one of the best sales engineering workshops I’ve been to in the last several years. This was totally relevant information for industry.”

– Nathan Toro, Sales Consultant, Mobile Mechanical Services

“I like that Mark Allen Roberts involved us in the Sales Engineering Workshop. He asked the audience questions and had us role-play. I learned about asking higher quality questions, open-ended questions. This was better than any conference I went to last year.”

– Bonnie Nichols, Sales Specialist, ADG Concepts

“It’s been beneficial. There are decision-makers and people here who do a lot of design work, not only in our market but all across the country. The conversations we’ve been having have been very deep – often up to 15 minutes. The quality of the conversations has been really good.”

– Spencer Kaufman, Sales Engineer, Midwest Machinery

“It was nice to hear from the actual manufacturers of equipment and learn about the selection process and different technologies for applications at the Industrial Cooling Water Workshop. I learned more about dry cooling and adiabatic cooling, which is interesting because of the lower water consumption or no water consumption, and how these can be integrated into a hybrid system with normal cooling towers.”

– Hemant Tiwari, Energy Engineer, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

“We’ve talked to Bobcat, Kaeser Compressors and Ace Compressor. We’ve talked to a lot of different vendors on instrumentation. We look forward to going back on day two and getting more contacts.”

– Chris Rohman, Utilities Building Maintenance Tech, Bio Products, Archer Daniels Midland Company

“The Best Practices conference shows a lot of different innovative products. I’ve found many energy and sustainability items I will be pursuing to implement in our plant operations.”

– Jesse Scott, Facilities Engineer, MAGNA
