Anderson Materials Evaluation, Inc. has worked with fossil fuel and alternative energy companies to improve their ability to generate and deliver energy inexpensively and safely to consumers. We have worked to improve smokestack scrubbing materials. We have solved corrosion problems in scrubbing towers, in coke plants, in both conventional and nuclear power plant water and steam systems, and identified corrosion products on drilling equipment, natural gas filtration systems, and pipelines. We have determined the composition of fly ash by-products of coal-fired power plants. AME has solved problems in printed circuit boards for monitoring electric power usage and in gas flow meter sensors to measure natural gas usage. AME has determined causes for sensor degradation used in the exploration for undersea oil and gas deposits. We have analyzed materials for use in radioactive decay power generators in satellites and addressed radioactive storage container materials issues.
We have performed DSC and XPS surface analysis of photovoltaic materials to characterize their chemical compositions, including the measurement of unreacted constituents and impurities. AME has characterized corrosion and materials degradation problems for photovoltaic arrays. We have solved power transmission line problems due to power line couples for wind generating farms. We have characterized a number of biomass materials using DSC to determine energy output issues relating to transporting them and to alternative uses for by-products of the processes for making fuels from them. We have investigated many problems with energy storage in batteries. AME has identified causes of materials degradation and contamination in fuel cells. We have determined the reason for dielectric loss in ceramic materials. We also measured the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of polymers and metal alloys using TMA.
