Meeting diverse industry needs

Armand Boogert underscores IPCO’s versatility in meeting the needs of various industries reliant on heat exchangers. He emphasizes that IPCO’s product line caters to a wide spectrum of users, spanning from the refining sector to pharmaceuticals and beyond.

As he states, “We have a product line that is important to all users of heat exchangers, so no restrictions.

Compliance and quality assurance

It’s vital to mention IPCO’s commitment to compliance with industry standards. Armand emphasizes the importance of third-party validation, stating, “We’re not selling a product, we’re selling a solution.” IPCO’s partnership with DNV, a notified body, underscores their dedication to safety and reliability. With that in mind, the company has implemented exhaustive testing procedures, which include material inspections, destructive tests, and blowout tests, guaranteeing product integrity and client satisfaction.

Environmental considerations

Armand highlights IPCO’s role in environmental stewardship, emphasizing their contribution to pollution prevention through rapid inspection and sealing of deteriorating heat exchanger tubes. He notes, “We take into account that our product allows to inspect the heat exchanger very quickly, and then seal the tubes before they leak. So our complete system means that the client gets good service and immediate, fast results. When we inspect the tube for deterioration, we only take about 10 seconds.” IPCO’s commitment to environmental responsibility aligns with their mission to provide efficient, sustainable solutions.
