Process troubleshooting can be difficult and frustrating. It requires methodical attention to the symptoms of the problem, willingness to consider all possible causes and the discipline not to jump to conclusions before all the evidence is collected and analyzed. Otherwise, it becomes a succession of false starts, ineffectual patches to the process, and no lasting improvement to productivity, costs or product quality.

Janus brings something extra to the process. Our 35+ years of experience in this field. What may seem a strange and exotic problem to you may be one we've seen before.

• Heat-damaged dryer burners and fan motors had to be replaced as often as every 6 months. Numerous attempts at a fix had not helped. In 2 days, we had identified poor air flow as the culprit and devised a fix. No burner replacements have been needed for over 8 years since.
  
  
• A new makeup air heating system in a casino generated faint odors. Customers would leave the building, causing loss of revenue. We pinpointed an air flow problem and modified the control setup to alleviate the odors until a permanent fix could be made.
  
  
• Ladle preheating burners in a steel mill would shriek when burning a backup blended fuel. We designed a modification to eliminate the noise.
  
  
• A thermal oxidizer generated excessive carbon monoxide. We advised the manufacturer on design modifications that brought the oxidizer into compliance with air quality regulations.
  
  
• A heat treat furnace manufacturer received customer complaints about sooting of radiant tubes. We analyzed the problem and determined that incompatibility between the ratio control system and some of the control components was the source of their problems.
