Complimentary Fluid Analysis
Maintaining the efficiency of your thermal system shouldn’t be a guessing game. Whether you are managing a new installation, topping off with makeup fluid, or monitoring an aging system, understanding the chemical health of your Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) is critical to preventing downtime and safety hazards.
At CHEM Group, our process is built on a collaborative partnership. We begin with a deep dive into your specific application—via inbound or outbound consultation—to understand your unique operational needs.
Why You Should Test
Testing is the foundation of our business model, helping us understand your specific needs for new installations or reclaim projects.
- Discover “Distill & Return” opportunities to restore fluid to “like-new” quality for a fraction of the cost of new fluid.
- Determine if your Heat Transfer Fluid is fit for continued use or requires specific maintenance to prevent unexpected downtime.
- Receive a CO2e Sustainability Report for all reclamation projects to document and track your facility’s environmental impact.
When You Should Test
To maintain peak efficiency and system safety, we recommend a proactive monitoring schedule rather than reactive maintenance.
- Utilize two sample kits every year to track the degradation curve of your fluid and ensure year-round reliability.
- Analyze your HTF during a new installation or when adding makeup fluid to ensure compatibility and performance.
- Establish a baseline in our Evansville (EVV) lab to catch thermal “cracking” or oxidation before it causes system damage.
What We Look For
Our laboratory process provides a level of detail that exceeds industry standards, ensuring your project results are predictable and precise.
- We measure the % of lights, mids, and heavies in your fluid, offering a more comprehensive health profile than basic testing.
- Our lab scale process replicates recovery to provide accurate yield, quality, timing, and pricing before your fluid arrives for reclaim.
- Final analysis determines the exact level of service required, confirmed by rigorous QA/QC to ensure all products meet specification.
