Analyzer, emissions and instrumentation expertise for the Gulf Coast
The Gulf Coast holds one of the densest concentrations of refining, petrochemical and chemical production in North America. That is especially true along the Mississippi River corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and in the Lake Charles area. Plants here run under demanding air permits and safety requirements, so analytical instrumentation is central to daily operations. That means continuous emissions monitoring, process gas analysis, fixed gas detection, and combustion control on boilers and fired heaters.
The territory also covers Gulf Coast shipbuilding and marine operations, pulp and paper mills across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and power generation throughout the region. Aerospace and defense programs add to the mix, from NASA’s Stennis Space Center and Michoud Assembly Facility to Mobile’s aircraft and shipbuilding industry and the military installations of the Florida Panhandle.
What engineers here ask us for
- Refining, chemical and petrochemical: CEMS and mercury monitoring, process analyzers, toxic and combustible gas detection, and O2 and CO combustion control.
- Utilities and industrial boilers: burner management and fuel/air ratio control, stack monitoring, and on-site hydrogen for generator cooling.
- Marine and shipbuilding: ruggedized human-machine interfaces, submersible displacement sensors, and shock and vibration testing.
- Aerospace and research: high-reliability temperature sensors, data acquisition, and environmental data recorders.
Working with Vaughn in this territory
The Gulf Coast team pairs Tom Cooney’s broad instrumentation sales background with Tom Lastrapes’ decades of hands-on analyzer experience, including years at Monsanto Chemical and Bendix. Analyzer projects succeed or fail on sample conditioning, calibration and long-term support. We help you get those details right up front, then coordinate quotes and technical support with the manufacturer.
