All MEECO Customers From:
Tom Guinn, President Subject: Cost
of ownership competitive analysis of
Moisture analyzers by technology One of our competitor’s
websites presents a graphical illustration
of their estimate of the cost of ownership
of moisture analyzers for natural gas monitoring
based on sensor technology type. It reflects
their cost estimates of a specific model
based on TDLAS technology vs. Quartz Crystal
and Aluminum Oxide sensor based analyzers.
This chart reflects very favorably on their
TDLAS based model and they have used this
argument to their advantage in promoting
their product line to the industry. We view the comparison as
incomplete as it does not provide the customer
with ALL of the facts to make an unbiased
and intelligent decision based on full data.
Any comparison of moisture analyzers and
technologies should certainly include the electrolytic
principle; an absolute
measurement based on Faraday’s Law,
for some inexplicable reason, this technology
was omitted in this comparison. We would
like to correct this oversight and give you
the complete picture.
The
attached PDF file shows their original graph
without the MEECO product on the left and
“the rest of the picture”
including our product in the right hand side
graph. The complete data certainly paints
a different picture and deserves consideration.
Our extensive customer base in this industry
as well as other markets validates the customers’
choice of MEECO when given all the facts
and experience with our performance. Let’s make sure that everyone
sees the complete picture. Don’t let
“specmanship” get in the way
of effective decision making.
We did not generate the comparison but we’re
ready, willing, and able to be compared and
welcome the challenge. The MEECO product line, based
on the electrolytic principle, has been the
analyzer of choice for many years for the
natural gas transmission, distribution, and
custody transfer applications.
That’s why we have presented the data
here. When all the costs are considered combined
with performance and overall quality and
reliability, MEECO provides the best return
for the customer’s investment. We hope this information will
be useful in your selection and cost/benefit
analysis.
Best
regards, Tom
