100% ROI... per month
High Yield Solutions
100% Return On Investment (ROI) may seem ridiculously high, or too fast a return, but our products and services do provide outstanding returns. Why?
Low Price, High Value
First, we target high-return opportunities. We turn away business if we, together with the customer, think the returns are just not there.
Second, while our products are unique and we have few competitors, our products are priced affordably. This reduces approval levels, sales effort and cycle times, gets you the techology faster and reduces your risk. We minimize the costly marketing and sales investments and build our products right, reducing support costs and wasted time, enabling us to deliver the best performing products at a good value. What you get is excellent return on investment.

Paper Making
Man has been making paper for thousands of years, probably back when some guy started pounding reeds on the Nile. The process is well known and highly optimized over the millenia. Or is it? In one paper mill we installed an Intellect 2.0 system costing $40,000 dollars. It was used to model and estimate on-line paper product performance that is linked to a costly raw material. The predictive model was "inverted" in a control sense to provide recommended add-rates for the costly material. The system not only showed the operators what the product performance was before getting the lab results, it suggested that they turn-up or turn-down the costly raw material rate to achieve consistent product performance. Most often, it told them to turn it down. The savings were tabulated over some number of months and found to be about $185,000 per month.
Investment: $40,000 one time, $10,000/year maintenance and support.
Savings: $185,000 / month.
A clear benefit.
Oil Production
When oil wells get old, sometimes they need a little help to produce oil. There are many ways to do this, including pumping or pressurizing the reservoir. In this case the customer injects high pressure natural gas down the well and the bubbling up reduces density and lifts the oil up and out. This is called Lift Gas Injection. The trick here is if you inject too little gas you don't get the effect. If you inject too much, you froth and foam and don't get the effect either. There's a balance point and that balance point is influenced dynamically by well conditions. Most oil and gas companies determine the optimal injection using "static" off-line methods. Not good. We use on-line dynamic methods and achieve up to 20% increases in production, but we typically use 5% as a safe justification.
