New Company Name, Same Great Service
Thank you to all my past and present
clients for making the last 3½ years a great success. Due to that success, I have converted my
sole-proprietorship into a full-fledged corporation.
The new company name
is: T2E3, Inc.
Under
this new name you will find all the same great products and services, including
performance monitoring programs, reporting systems, performance analysis,
training and owner’s engineering services.
If you have any performance needs, please let me know. I look forward to working with you!
In
addition to the new company structure, Brian Dressler has joined T2E3, Inc.
as a Senior Engineer.
Brian
has over 8 years of in-depth performance testing experience including both
technical and commercial aspects of the industry. He has served as a test director, and/or test
engineer on simple cycle, combined cycle, geothermal, cogeneration, and coal
fired projects. He has developed
numerous performance calculation routines and interface components for DCS and
field performance test instrumentation.
Brian
graduated with distinction with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Seattle
University (2002). He is the co-author
of the Adjustable Cab Extender Assembly patent via Paccar, et.
al.
Besides
all his engineering endeavors, Brian is also one of the master minds behind the
online network: www.smallscreennetwork.com
If you’d like to contact Brian directly, he can be reached

Spotlight on Service: Owner’s
Engineer
Are you working on a new construction
project? Have a major outage coming
up? Worried about the performance
implications of any major maintenance activities?
If you
answered yes to any of these items, you might benefit from a performance test
(or be required to perform one) - and the services of an “Owner’s Engineer”
could be very beneficial.
The
duties of an Owner’s Engineer include reviewing all test procedures for
applicability to the test objectives and conformance with any published
standards (such as ASME PTC’s); supervising test equipment calibration and/or
installation methods; monitoring data collection during testing; and/or
reviewing and providing an independent assessment of test results.
An
Owner’s Engineer provides focused expertise and an additional layer of support
between the Testing Agency and the Owner - finding one small discrepancy or
missing piece of information early in the testing process can reduce costs and
minimize lost time during a critical start-up process. T2E3’s
experience with performance testing can lead to a smoother test with more
accurate results; providing everyone involved with a higher level of confidence
in the final results.
If you
have a performance test in your future, and would like to know how T2E3 can
help make it a better experience for you, please contact us at the numbers
shown to the left.
I look
forward to hearing from you!

T2E3 Performance Analysis Services for Power Plants
Including:
Analysis Tools & Software – from customized spreadsheets to add-ins for Excel or
complete compiled programs, T2E3 can develop software tools and analyses to
support all your performance monitoring needs, including integrating your
existing tools with available site data systems, to create online systems
providing data and results in real-time.
Training – both public and private seminars are available. Interactive sessions increase attendees’
knowledge and understanding of the thermodynamic cycles, instrumentation and
analyses needed to improve equipment performance and reliability.
Performance
Test Support – for annual
capacity or PPA performance tests.
Support available includes developing procedures, analyses and reports
as well as on-site test direction.
Performance and Dispatch Models – Support for power marketers
and dispatchers to increase their understanding of the operation of your
facility. Do they constantly dispatch
the plant at loads which are difficult or impossible to maintain? T2E3 can help you build tools and training
programs to help all parties understand the expected changes in performance due
to ambient conditions and operating constraints.
Performance Improvement doesn’t
need to be scary! Call for more
information on how we can work together, today!
