APPLICATION EXPERTISE
We start with the process, measurement objective, operating conditions, and practical field realities before recommending a solution. That application knowledge helps us identify the right analytical approach and technology for the customer’s specific requirements.
ENGINEERING & INTEGRATION
We combine analytical instrumentation, engineering, and system integration to develop complete solutions suited to the application and installation environment.
Our teams bring together the analyzer, sample system, controls, utilities, communications, and other elements needed to support reliable operation in the field.
COMMISSIONING & DELIVERY
Our engineers, technicians, sales professionals, and specialists work together to support testing, installation, startup, and commissioning, helping ensure analytical systems are integrated properly and perform as intended in the field.
With more than 500 combined years of experience, our team brings the technical and field knowledge needed to address site requirements, solve startup issues, and support a smoother transition into operation.
SERVICE & LIFECYCLE SUPPORT
Our technical and service teams remain involved after startup through maintenance, troubleshooting, calibration, upgrades, and changes in operational requirements.
Safety, quality, and compliance are part of that lifecycle support. Novatech maintains certifications and registrations that support our work in regulated industrial environments, including ISO 9001:2015, CRN, CSA, ISNetworld, PICS, and COR.
