"In regards to
SmogBuster
presence and
performance
at the 2003 Syncrude 8 - 1 Coker Shutdown we are very
pleased to say that you did an
excellent
job. Your personal attention on the
jobsite, along with the helpful attitude and hard work
of your employees is to be
commended."
"Feedback from our employees was very
positive
and they felt that your
continued
participation in future shutdowns should
be
encouraged.
Listed below are some of the direct quotes from the
foreman on the Shutdown this year."
"The
quality
of the
atmosphere
in the Burner was certainly due to the presence of SmogBuster
which kept the dust and smoke to a minimum."
"SmogBuster in the burner also did a good job
eliminating
the
dust
and
smoke."
"SmogBuster made the air quality excellent, plus we
had
no holdups because
of LEL's."
"SmogBuster - Air quality in the sheds, no down time,
safer environment to work, increase productivity,
major
improvement from the previous shutdown."
"Syncrude personnel were also
very
pleased and they stated in their critique
"
"SmogBuster was excellent and made a world of difference."
"Again, it was an
exceptional
job, thank you for your efforts and
your
professionalism."

"During this outage, the extent of repair work achieved
would not have been possible without the use of
SmogBuster,
and I anticipate that the number of forced outages will
be reduced. It is likely that this system will very
quickly become the
industry
standard for confined space ventilation."

"Every aspect of the
SmogBuster
is
positive.
A
healthier
work place will result in less work-related health problems,
increased staff
satisfaction,
reduced turnover and training costs and
improved
productivity. The International
Brotherhood
of Boilermakers stands by the SmogBuster and we urge
industry stockholders to adopt the SmogBuster as
must
have equipment for all confined space
ventilation applications. Workers deserve no less."
International Vice President

"During the twelve days of abrasive blasting and metalizing
operations performed... in the furnace area, there were
no work stoppages
or negative effects by those operations on the... workforce
in the reheat, superheater and wind box area of Unit
6. This
allowed us a unplanned
reduction of 10 - 14 days in the outage."

"It is reasonable to
expect
that this exhaust system will
reduce
air pollutant
concentrations
by
90%
compared to general ventilation systems currently used
for
confined space
welding."

"With this
ventilation
system in place,
it allowed
the workers to be able to remain in the uptake for
longer
periods of time, under comfortable conditions...
We were very pleased with the SmogBuster."
